The border guards of the Mukachevo detachment on the border with Hungary detained five men. Three - detained the border outfit from the “Forks” department. Two of the detainees intended to cross the state border illegally, the third volunteered to help them. One of the carrier's wards has already managed to give the organizers of his trip 6 thousand dollars, and his fellow traveler has agreed with them on transportation “with cash on delivery”.
