This morning, 272 Antiminer devices were confiscated in an operation by the Customs and Kosovo #Police in the northern part of the country. These plants, if left uninterrupted, consume approximately 300.000 kilowatt-hours of #electricity, which is the average consumption of 500 houses. With the current import prices, it comes out to 60.000-120.000 euros per month. "That is what we are talking about when we say that we can not allow someone to get rich illegally on the backs of taxpayers," Murati wrote.
