Foreign Maritime Shipping Companies Smuggle 14.000 Billion DZD In Two Years

A detailed report that is currently on the table of the Transport Minister, Boudjema Tali, for investigating in the economic and financial team of the judicial police, revealed the involvement of three foreign companies that are active in the field of maritime shipping, smuggled 14.000 billion DZD, in two years only, by manipulating the transfers of VAT.

Details of the case which are under investigation by the economic and financial team of the judicial police, since the end of the month of April, are back to extensive internal investigations that were undertaken by the services of Maritime Trade Directorate and ports regarding the suspicious activity of a number of foreign companies that are active in the field of maritime shipping, through transferring hard currency illegally, which in turn handed over the entire file to the services that are involved in investigating in the case.

According to Echorouk sources, the investigation resulted in the involvement of three companies that dominate the shipping industry for containers and cargo in the Algerian ports in the smuggling of 14.000 DZD, which is equivalent to 140 thousand billion centimes, during 2013 and 2014.
