Nasabat ng Bureau of Customs (BOC) ang hinihinalang smuggled luxury cars na tinatayang nagkakahalagang P20 million noong Miyerkules.

Sa tulong ng Manila International Container Port (MICP) at Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS), nasabat ng BOC ang 3 sasakyang hinihinalang smuggled na idineklarang “used truck parts” mula sa Japan.

Sa isinagawang physical investigation, napag-alamang tinabunan ng mga ‘ukay-ukay’ na damit ang mga sasakyan na ang consignee ay ang JLFDM Consumer Goods Trading.

Saad pa ng BOC, “This information led to the issuance of an Alert Order against the shipment. A 100% physical inspection was conducted witnessed by members of the Enforcement and Security Service (ESS) and Formal Entry Division (FED) of the Port. The examination revealed 33 bales of ukay-ukay concealing therewith the 3 vehicles.”

Ang mga naturang sasakyan ay isang Ferrari F430 Scuderia, isang Mercedes Benz SLK 55 AMG at isang Mercedes Benz E220.

Pahayag ng BOC, “A Warrant of Seizure and Detention (WSD) is immediately issued against the shipment for possible violation of Section 1400 of Republic Act (RA) 10863, otherwise known as the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA).”

Winasak ng Bureau of Customs (BOC) ang mga nakumpiskang puslit na luxury cars na umabot sa mahigit P45 milyong halaga sa Port of Cebu.

Ang mga smuggled luxury vehicles, kabilang na ang isang sasakyang Bentley, ay tinangkang ipuslit upang hindi makapagbayad ng karampatang buwis.

Kasabay ng pagdiriwang ng ika-119 anibersaryo ng Customs, ang sampung mamahaling SUV at kotse ay sinira ng crane ng ahensiya sa nasabing lugar, kung saan nagkakahalaga ang lahat ng ito ng P45.243 milyon.

"We are doing this to prevent smugglers from circumventing the law by attempting to acquire these vehicles through the auction process," pahayag ni Department of Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez sa naganap na okasyon.

Smuggled umano ang hindi awtorisadong COVID-19 vaccine mula sa China na itinurok sa Presidential Security Group, ayon kay Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana.

Pahayag ni Lorenzana, “Yes smuggled, because they were not authorized, only the government can authorize.

“They need to explain because they violated Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules.”

Dagdag pa niya, “It is justified… it will protect them so they will not be infected and at the same time they can protect the president.” Samantala, iniimbestigahan na rin umano ng FDA ang insidente.
