A lorry containing 28 tonnes of smuggled fresh garlic has been intercepted in Sweden. This is the result of close cooperation between the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and Norwegian and Swedish customs. Since 2009, approximately 1 200 tonnes of Chinese garlic, with an estimated value of 1.5 million euros in terms of customs' duties, had been smuggled into the EU via Norway by an international group of smugglers. |
