Two employees of the Ukrainian Embassy in Poland have been caught red-handed at the border while trying to smuggle foreign currency, gold and cigarettes into that country.

"Yesterday, two employees of the Ukrainian Embassy in Poland were caught red-handed – they were detained at the border while trying to smuggle a large amount of currency, gold and cigarettes in an official car from Ukraine into Poland.
