Ten kilos of smuggled cigarettes were seized at the Trieste port. The cargo was hidden inside the bumpers of trailers and the engines of two TIR tractor-trailers that had departed from the Turkish port of Ambarli. The cigarettes were intended for the European Union market and were seized because they lacked commercial authorisations and were also full of tar and nicotine. The two Turkish drivers were travelling to Belgium and the Netherlands.

Un parecolps: How can this be defined in Friulian? We may say: Intun veicul, imprest fat di une sbare metaliche o di plastiche une vore dure, che al pare il denant e il daûr dai colps; on a vehicle, component made of a metal bar or very hard plastic that protects the front and rear from impacts. This definition mentions a metal bar; you recently read a story in Friulian involving metal bars: Infortuni sul lavôr une vore brut, operari cjapât sot di ciertis sbaris metalichis.
TIR: sisteme di traspuart internazionâl su strade in Europe; par estension, un TIR al è ancje un autoarticolât, valadì un veicul cuntun semirimorchi, che al fâs chê sorte di traspuart; international road transport system in Europe; by extension, a TIR is also an articulated lorry, which is to say, a vehicle with a semi-trailer, that carries out this sort of transport. To put it simply, a TIR is a tractor-trailer.
Un spagnolet: a cigarette; also used: un sigaret. Examples: fumâ un spagnolet (to smoke a cigarette); tirâ fûr un sigaret (to pull out a cigarette); impiâsi un sigaret (to light oneself a cigarette).
