A total of two Bulgarians have been arrested after Belgian police busted a cigarette smuggling net believed to be the biggest one in Europe, Darik News reported Friday.

Some Belgium's media claim the Bulgarian citizen detained is only one.

Among the other arrestees are three Greeks, two Cypriotes and Belgian nationals.

The arrests came after police officers found more than 230 tons of contraband cigarette packages in three warehouses near Belgium's city of Liege.

According to customs officials, the tobacco products have been transported from Greece to Belgium by trucks.

Part of the illegal goods had to be delivered to Great Britain.

The investigation on the case continues.
