As part of its ongoing efforts to combat smuggling, the Anti-Trafficking Unit of the Regie Libanaise des Tabacs et Tombacs raided a factory producing counterfeit molasses (mu’assal) in Hosh al-Sayyed Ali, in the Hermel district.
During this operation, the Unit seized equipment and raw materials used in the production process, in addition to approximately seven tons of counterfeit molasses.
Once again, the Regie reaffirmed its commitment to combating all forms of smuggling and counterfeiting, and pledged to continue its efforts to protect the Lebanese market from illicit products, in cooperation with the Internal Security Forces and the relevant authorities.
