The cell phones were in a false bottom inside a vehicle.
A Brazilian citizen was surprised in the primary area of the Friendship Bridge, on the Brazilian side, transporting 54 iPhone cell phones, whose estimated value is 300,000 reais. It entered from Ciudad del Este, Paraguay to Brazilian territory and was not declared in the Federal Revenue.
The Federal Police proceeded to arrest a 54-year-old man, who presented himself as responsible for the charge, which was hidden in the false bottom of a vehicle. The identity of the same was not revealed by the interveners.
The entry of merchandise from Paraguay above the tax-free level, which is 500 dollars once a month, must be declared and consequently pay the corresponding import tax item by item. Failure to pay the tax constitutes smuggling and the person responsible can be sentenced to up to 4 years in prison.
The Federal Police had the support of the Federal Highway Police during the intervention carried out in the Brazilian primary zone. According to the data, the driver of the vehicle began to show nervousness upon being approached, for which reason it was decided to carry out a more detailed control, detecting the false bottom.
