A Slovak court has sentenced an elderly woman and her Czech customer for cigarette smuggling after authorities discovered contraband tobacco hidden in the woman's garage. The Czech man received a suspended sentence, while the Slovak woman was ordered to pay a financial penalty. The case highlights ongoing cross-border tobacco smuggling between Slovakia and the Czech Republic, where significant price differences between the two countries make such illegal trade profitable.
