Uffiċċjali mid-Dipartiment tad-Dwana għamlu sejba enormi ta' sigaretti fil-Freeport. Dan hekk kif ikkonfiskaw mat-2.9 miljun sigarett. Fi stqarrija mid-Dwana ġie spjegat li l-uffiċċjali għamlu tfittxijiet fuq kontejner li kien fih 40 pied u li kien telaq mir-Russja. Hu kien direzzjonat lejn pajjiż membru tal-Unjoni Ewropea mhux speċifikat. Hu ntagħżel sabiex jiġi spezzjonat f'Malta. Il-kontejner kien iddikjarat li qed iġorr l-injam. Infatti ġie spjegat li mal-fetħa tal-kontejner, wieħed seta' biss jara l-injam. Madanakollu malli sar l-iscanning ħareġ li kien hemm xi ħaġa moħbija fl-injam stess. Kien hemm li l-uffiċċjali ddeċidew li jkissru waħda mis-serratizzi. #td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091152/DSC_00032-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091148/DSC_00851-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091145/DSC_00783-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item4{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091141/DSC_00711-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item5{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091137/DSC_00672-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item6{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091134/DSC_0066-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item7{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091131/DSC_00631-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item8{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091128/DSC_0049-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item9{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091125/DSC_0047-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item10{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091122/DSC_00381-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item11{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091119/DSC_00321-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item12{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091116/DSC_0026-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item13{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091113/DSC_0022-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item14{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091110/DSC_00113-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item15{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21091106/DSC_00092-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item16{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21090834/DSC_0093-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item17{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21090831/DSC_00943-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_3_5ee4e63e134ea .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item18{background:url(https://cdn.newsbook.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/21090825/DSC_00961-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat} 1 minn 18 Dwana Huma sabu 48 pakkett ta' sigaretti kuntrabandu fl-ewwel injama.
