Seizure of private cars from Russia by German customs authorities

According to Russian media reports, German customs have seized several vehicles with Russian license plates. The reason is an EU regulation that restricts the export of certain goods and technologies – including cars – from Russia. Accordingly, Russian citizens who cross the EU’s external borders by car, for example on vacation, are committing an embargo violation.
