Recently, a 69-year-old man carrying a suspicious package of "desserts", flew from Cairo, Egypt, to Schönefeld Airport in Berlin.
The odd looking package turned out to not be chocolate pastries (which is what the man told customs) but something much more interesting. After opening the package, the customs officers discovered that inside was three Moroccan tortoises!
Infringements of species protection regulations can result in fines of up to 50,000 euros" or up to five years in prison.
