My bf nonna’s hairdresser in Ticino used to smuggle Panettoni across the border and sell them to his customers. They were the best Panettoni we ever had. RIP Antonio 🙁

Can someone explain why this is illegal?
I thought Switzerland being in the EFTA menad free flow of goods.
It reminded me of the stories my grandpa told me about smuggling Toblerone over the border while skying in Ischgl 🙂

very damaging practice I must say
to even THINK of delivering these panettones to every cousin in switzerland would be a crime

I guess he was a beginner smuggler and did the transport between 8-17?

Can we at least not insult the panettoni by not calling them panettones? 🤌

And so, a new ticinese legend is born. L’uomo italiano che ha quasi contrabbandato sessantasei panettoni.

Props to the Swiss customs for enforcing the ban of phoneys smuggling panettones in a van of Toni’s.

This is the most Swiss and Italian thing that I’ve read this year.

This AI translation is atrocious. He wasn’t arrested, he was stopped and what the heck is a “non-permanent border crossing”? The border crossing in Brusata is unstaffed and open 24/7

There is more to the story. The 164l oil (probably expensive olive oil) and the 24kg mozzarella cheese were likely more expensive.

Totally understandable.
