The Anti-Trafficking Unit of the Regie Libanaise des Tabacs et Tombacs seized large quantities of smuggled and counterfeit molasses (mu’assal), counterfeit cigars, as well as smuggled cigarettes and electronic cigarettes. These seizures were the result of raids in the neighborhoods of al-Lija (Msaytbeh) and Laylaki (Beirut’s southern suburbs).
Seizure reports were filed against the violators and sent to the competent judicial authorities for further action.
