MOZAMBICAN customs authorities confiscated an unspecified quantity of smuggled goods out of more than 800 registered cases in the first semester of 1999, reports Monday’s issue of the Maputo daily, Noticias. In the last two months more than 200 cases of smuggling were recorded in the south. Customs authorities believe that this shows there is a growing trend of tax evasion. Between January and May 33 vehicles that were circulating under illegal situation or with false number plates were apprehended.
