Joke Becomes Reality! Lebanese Caught Hiding in Suitcase at Turkish-Greek Border

A Lebanese man turned the joke of climbing into somebody's suitcase a reality when he hid in the luggage of a German to cross the Turkish border into Greece.

Turkish customs officers at the Pazarkule Customs Gate ordered the German man to open his suitcase when they became suspicious over its enormous size.

When they unzipped the luggage, the officers found the 20-year-old Lebanese identified by his initials as A.J curled up inside in a fetal position.

He even had a pillow and blanket and a small supply of snacks stashed inside.

The Lebanese man was sent to the foreigners' department of the Edirne Security Directorate prior to deportation while police took the German into custody on charges of smuggling migrants.

The footage has been uploaded to the internet.
