According to news from Guangzhou Customs on October 29, Guangzhou Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, with the assistance of customs anti-smuggling bureaus in Huangpu, Jiangmen, Kunming, Nanning and other places, organized the "Fight 28" special operation to combat the smuggling of imported fruits and successfully eliminated 3 smuggling. The criminal gang arrested 12 suspects and the value of the case involved was approximately RMB 1.355 billion.
According to public reports, the Guangzhou Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau has initially grasped a clue to the smuggling of imported fruits.
In order to thoroughly investigate the situation, the customs anti-smuggling department sent police to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the logistics of imported fruits at a fruit wholesale market in Guangzhou.
After several months of visits, we learned about the smuggling movement of fruit manufacturers, distributors and agents involved in the case at home and abroad, and figured out the complete smuggling chain.
It is understood that the smuggling gang involved in the case has long used a company in Guangzhou to purchase mangosteen, longan, durian and other fruits originating in Thailand and transported to the borders of Guangxi and Yunnan. The way of under-quoting prices is to declare imports through small-value border trade and general trade, and sell them to Guangzhou and other places for profit.
In addition, it was discovered that smuggling gangs used their identities as "frontier people" to smuggle fruits in border markets.
In the early morning of October 20, the special operation code-named "Fight 28" was fully launched in Guangzhou, Jiangmen, Nanning, Guangxi, Pingxiang, Jinghong and Mengla of Yunnan.
140 customs officers formed 21 action teams to arrest.
Currently, the case is under further investigation.
