Hakan said that the night shift supervisor at Habur Port is his cousin. Fifty thousand dollars, guaranteed passage.
Fifty thousand dollars for smuggling three hundred boxes without inspection, worth it.
Assembly point after entering Turkey is Gaziantep.
It's not far from the Siria border, with well-developed logistics and cheap warehouses.
More importantly, there's a highway directly leading to Mediterranean ports, and the city is crowded, ideal for hiding.
He wrote down the critical checkpoints for the second segment in his notebook:
Elbil → Habur Port (night clearance, cost 100,000) → Gaziantep warehouse (two-week rental, cost 15,000)
Total time: Border crossing 2 hours, road transport 8 hours
Single batch cost: Approximately 70,000 US Dollars (including bribe money)
Risk level: Medium-Low.
The third segment involves the Black Sea.
Entering Ermao from Turkey, there are only two routes—land through Bulgaria, Romania, or by sea into the Black Sea.
Land route too slow.
