CUSTOMS FRAUD IN COUFFO: Seizure of more than 400 kg of counterfeit medicines by the customs brigade of HOUNSAHOUÉ.

The war declared to smugglers by the men of Charles Inousa SACCA BOCO, Director General of Customs and Indirect Rights continues. It is in this sense that the Hounsahoué customs squad hit hard, Tuesday, April 16, 2019, in Aplahoué Zohoundji district by seizing a large amount of medicines.Everything left a fraud notice. The agents of the Hounsahoué Customs Brigade then went to a store in Aplahoué on Tuesday 16 April 2018 at 8.30 p.m. When they arrived at the site, eight (08) packages of carefully packed pharmaceutical products littered the soil. The taxi motorbike driver carrying the goods by lot at the place of unloading immediately fled by abandoning the said parcels and his motorcycle when he noticed the presence of the customs officers at the scene, described our source at customs. The latter then picked up the parcels and the motorcycle they brought back to the Brigade. In this way, the customs authorities tell the forgers that no question of taking advantage of this electoral jam to commit their package.Let's note that last month, the customs department of Mono/Couffo had already stopped several vehicles from Togo whose drivers preferred the bush because they were loaded with products hidden under bags of coal in order to escape customs.
