According to an article on the official news website of the Republic of Indonesia, the Indonesian Marili Customs recently destroyed 1,086,950 illegal tobacco products. It was revealed that these tobacco products were evidence of tax law violations, as they did not have tax stamps attached. In addition, the customs also destroyed 15 liters of ethyl alcohol-containing beverages, 175.5 grams of cut tobacco, and 1.2 liters of other tobacco products, with an estimated value of approximately 1.334 billion Indonesian Rupees. It is projected that this will result in a loss of approximately 910 million Indonesian Rupees for the country.
Firman Bunyamin, Director of the Malili Customs Office, revealed that these destroyed goods were obtained from 106 law enforcement operations conducted between October 2022 and October 2023.
He pointed out that the number of law enforcement actions this year is nearly double that of last year. He emphasized that the aim of this destruction is to decrease the circulation of illegal tobacco and alcohol, making the consumption of these products more regulated and in line with tax laws.
