Pour des affaires de détournement des deniers publics et autres, le procureur spécial près de la Court for the Suppression of Economic and Financial Offences (CRIEF) requested the opening of a judicial investigation against executives of National Customs and freight forwarders.

The special prosecutor said in his statement that his decision follows a denunciation made by the Central Directorate of Judicial Investigations of the National Gendarmerie, which carried out “serious investigations” into cases of embezzlement, embezzlement and corruption at the level of the General Directorate of Customs. According to information, a network composed of customs officials and several freight forwarders operates at the level of the General Directorate of Customs to bypass the traditional one-stop payment process to collect funds at the expense of the State.
