According to Brazilian media outlet diariodaamazonia, the Federal Police (PF) in Brazil has launched Operation "Zero Vapor" to combat the smuggling of e-cigarettes. The police executed 13 search and seizure warrants in the cities of Ji-Paraná, Cacoal, and Rolim de Moura in the state of Rondônia.
Federal police have announced that five individuals have been arrested during an operation targeting smuggling activities. The detainees were involved in the smuggling of e-cigarettes and accessories. Additionally, law enforcement officers have seized a number of e-cigarettes and accessories.
According to federal police sources, a total of approximately 24,000 Brazilian reais in cash was seized during the execution of search and seizure warrants by law enforcement officials.
The individuals under investigation may face charges of smuggling e-cigarettes and accessories. Additionally, as the investigation progresses, they may also be prosecuted for any other potential offenses that come to light.
It's worth noting that smuggling and tax evasion are distinct offenses. Smuggling refers to the act of introducing a prohibited product into a country, while tax evasion involves bringing in a non-prohibited product but failing to pay the associated taxes.
