Brazil Federal Police Crack Down on E-Cigarette Smuggling Activities
Brazil Federal Police launched a crackdown on e-cigarette smuggling activities along the border, targeting a logistics structure.

According to H2FOZ's report on September 5, the Brazilian Federal Police launched another operation on Thursday (5th) to crackdown on e-cigarette smuggling crimes in the border region of three countries.


The focus of this operation was to destroy a logistical structure used for storing, loading, and distributing e-cigarettes. The investigation began with federal police seizing a shipment of smuggled goods from a group of trucks. Inside these trucks, a large quantity of illegally imported e-cigarette products was hidden. These goods were illegally imported from Paraguay and distributed to various locations throughout Brazil.


After an investigation, the police have confirmed that a resident living in Iguazu City is suspected of being responsible for the management, distribution, and loading work of the warehouse. At the request of the police, the judiciary issued a search and detention order for the resident's residence.


During the search process, the police found empty containers filled with smuggled goods and ammunition in the suspect's home, leading to their immediate arrest.
