Imported tap dancing shoes

But Italy did not let the DPRK get what it wanted.

The report said that many prohibited items were pported to North Korea through a pit station. Some Western envoys to the United Nations called the pit station in China.

According to the report of the United Nations Expert Group, "in December 2010, a group of high-end tap dancing shoes were intercepted at the OrioalSerio airport in Milan."

A United Nations diplomat told Reuters on Tuesday that dozens of double tap shoes were intercepted.

He said it is not clear what the relationship between these tap dancing shoes and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's lifestyle is.

In recent years, Italy has also intercepted other attempts by the DPRK.

Luxury goods

Such as high-end brandy and whiskey valued at 12 thousand euros, and equipment that costs about 130 thousand euros and equipped with 1000 people.

"Most of the luxuries that have been or will arrive in North Korea must pass through a pit station near the country," the report said.
