Enforcement activities – Smuggler caught by DOF with more than R$200,000 in illegal goods
Military police officers from the Department of Border Operations (DOF) seized a Ford Versailles carrying contraband and illegal goods on Tuesday (15) in Dourados. A 43-year-old man was arrested during the operation.
The raid took place on the city’s Ring Road, during routine patrols. During the inspection of the vehicle, cigarettes, cell phones, perfumes, electronics and other products of foreign origin without legal proof were found.
The driver said he had bought the materials in Pedro Juan Caballero, Paraguay, and would take them to the Vila Vargas district in Dourados.
Valued at approximately R$205,000, the cargo was sent to the Federal Police Station in Dourados, along with the prisoner. The action is part of the Border and Border Protection Program, the result of a partnership between Sejusp (State Secretariat for Justice and Public Security) and the Ministry of Justice and Public Security.
