Some 80 barrels consisting of 16,000 litres of Ethanol worth more than Rs.3.2 million and imported from Malaysia were taken into custody by Customs officials at the Orugodawatte container yard this morning.

Customs media spokesman Lesley Gamini said the container was declared as containing MDF boards.

He said if this stock of Ethanol went undetected the Government would have incurred a loss of Rs.10 million in tax revenue.

Did they reveal the identity of those who smuggled in the first consignment? Will they reveal the names of the people who smuggled in this one? My bet is as good as yours. NO!!! If you don't get caught, you win. Even if you get caught you still win. That's the name of the game.

Really appreciated the hard work and detection of those ill-legal imports but question is why it get delay to take legal actions.
