The Anti-Trafficking Unit of the Lebanese Regie for Tobacco seized large quantities of smuggled and counterfeit molasses (mu’assal), as well as smuggled cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cigars and Ajami tobacco.
These seizures were the result of raids in Beirut’s Hamra street, in Haret al-Naameh (Chouf District), in Arab Salim (Iqlim al-Tuffah area) and in the towns of Nabatieh, Habboush and Houmin al-Fawqa (Nabatieh District).
Seizure reports were filed against the violators and sent to the competent judicial authorities for further action.
