Customs Department Investigates Alleged Smuggling of Manure

The Customs Department is investigating the alleged illegal trafficking of manure and animal feed from the occupied territories by a 75-year-old individual who was previously involved in a case of illegal cigarette smuggling. The investigation is currently hampered by a lack of evidence. Information suggests that the illegal activity has been ongoing for years and involved various products, such as machinery, oil, and animals. Authorities are investigating a potential violation of the Green Line Regulation and are cooperating with the Police and Veterinary Services. No significant increase in the smuggling of agricultural products has been observed, but isolated cases have been reported.
