Tokyo Customs has accused a Chinese national of violating customs laws with prosecutors for attempting to smuggle approximately 360 meth-soaked unglazed tiles from Mexico into the country by air freight.
The accused is a Chinese national and a part-time worker in Konosu City, Saitama Prefecture, Yu Kohei (29).
According to Tokyo Customs, the suspect allegedly attempted to smuggle approximately 360 decorative unglazed tiles impregnated with stimulants, totaling 63 kg, from Mexico to an apartment in Saitama City in October last year. It is
Tokyo Customs filed a complaint with the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on the 26th that the tiles were found during customs inspection.
In November last year, Tokyo Customs accused Canadian national Gerald Eizer Juanse Alvarillo of smuggling over 17 kilograms of stimulant liquid in a case like an ink cartridge into Tokyo. On the 26th, the person (30) was indicted to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on suspicion of violating the Customs Act.
The two have already been arrested and indicted for violating the Stimulants Control Law.
The number of stimulants smuggled and seized within the jurisdiction of Tokyo Customs last year is expected to exceed three times that of the previous year, and the methods are becoming more sophisticated, so Tokyo Customs wants to strengthen its crackdown at the border. .
