A French tourist was fined $1,200 for trying to smuggle over four pounds of white sand out of Sardinia. The tourist was stopped in the airport and ordered to pay the fine when bottles of sand were found in their possession. Sardinia’s forest rangers said the bottles were confiscated and placed in their operating room. The rangers said they usually accumulate many bottles of sand throughout the year. This is because it has become very common for people to try and sell the white sand as a souvenir. Last year we found a website that was selling our sand as souvenirs. It's become a very known phenomenon here in Europe, A Spokesperson For Sardinia’s Forest Rangers. In 2017, a regional law was introduced which made it illegal for sand to be taken from beaches in Sardinia. Fines for taking the sand range from $600 to $3,550, depending on the amount of sand taken. Last year police in Sardinia seized 88 pounds of sand from a French couple that were on vacation on the island
