Custom officials
trying to confiscate whatever they can get their hands on
On the 22nd of June the pharmaceutical experts identify 180 Cytotec pills and 45 Mifegyne tablets to be part of the cargo of the Langenort. It turns out that the idea to seal some of the medicines in the Netherlands was essential. The Polish customs officials will not be able to confiscate these medicines because they are legal in the Netherlands and, as the seal clearly indicates, not intended for distribution on Polish territory.
