The Anti-Trafficking Unit of the Regie Libanaise des Tabacs et Tombacs seized large quantities of counterfeit molasses (mu’assal), in addition to smuggled Lebanese tunbac, cigarettes and electronic cigarettes.
These seizures were the result of raids in Douris, Baalbek, Iaat and Riyaq.
In a statement, the Regie said that the raids were carried out as part of its “ongoing efforts to combat the smuggling and counterfeiting of tobacco products.”
Seizure reports were filed against the violators and sent to the competent judicial authorities for further action.
