Press Release: Bangladesh used as cover-up for textile scam

Evaded import duties to the value of 50 million Euros are to be recovered following three successful investigations into importations of textiles that the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) has recently concluded. The products, in particular jeans and t-shirts, originated in the far-east, mainly China, but were introduced into the EU with forged documents showing Bangladesh as their country of origin.
