He took sand with him, the French tourist suffers badly in Sardinia

The ban occurred at Elma Airport, where the unidentified person publicly was trying to pass a large plastic bottle of sand and stones and was banned by the authorities. The bottle was in the trunk. Immediately, measures were made toward him.

It is known that Sardinia's white sand is protected, and whoever tries to receive it faces fines, and in some cases, punishment may be even more severe for environmental damage in an area that locals defend with fanaticism. Regional law that makes illegal the taking of sand on the island came into force in 2017.

Fines may range between $500 and $3300, but despite that, there have been people who have tried to take sand as memories of Sardin.
