VODKA SMUGGLERS BUILD PIPELINE ACCROSS THE BORDER.
TALLINN, Estonia (AFP).
Eleven suspects have been charged over a smuggling operation to pump vodka from Russia to Estonia via a two kilometre underwater pipeline, Estonian prosecutors said Tuesday.
"It might sound wierd and unbelievable, but it's a very real criminal case," Mari Luuk, spokeswoman for the Estonian Viru Circuit Prosecutors Office told AFP.
She said the eleven, who included Russians and Estonians, were likely to go on trial soon and faced up to five years in prison if convicted.
The illegal pipeline was submerged in a water reservoir located between Russia and Estonia near the northeastern Estonian border town of Narva.
