The State Border Guard Service notes that the violin may be an original instrument made by Italian master Antonio Stradivari. This instrument has a special purity of sound and is highly valued in the world.

Customs officials seized the instrument. An expert will determine whether it has cultural and historical value.

As a reminder, Ukraine has recorded 8 episodes of smuggling of Apple equipment, which caused losses to the state of UAH 53 million. These cases were detected at the Volyn Customs. Employees of the agency who controlled this smuggling channel have already been notified of suspicion.
