Train guards find man’s wife in suitcase

A Frenchman tried to smuggle his Russian wife into the EU in a suitcase, not realising she was entitled to have sat next to him on the train.

The husband, who was in his 60s, and his wife had been taking a train from Moscow to the French city Nice, but their risky plot was discovered by Poland’s border guards.

According to border spokesman Dariusz Sienicki, officers became suspicious because of the size of the suitcase.
