Russian authorities have broken up a smuggling network that used a professional diver to swim with cigarettes across a river to Estonia, the Russian security service said Monday.The regional border security department of the FSB -- the successor to the Soviet secret service the KGB -- said the smugglers took the contraband across the River Narva, which marks part of the border between the two countries.
"Cigarettes packed in waterproof material were attached to the diver's suit by rope, and he swam with them to Estonia," the FSB said in a statement.Russian and Estonian border guards arrested five people, including the 25-year-old diver, in connection with the investigation, the FSB said.
