Customs Accused of Providing Inaccurate Information in Smuggling Probe

The Maldives Customs Service is accused of providing inaccurate information to Parliament's Security Services Committee (241 Committee) during its investigation into the smuggling of 200 cartons of cigarettes. Deputy Speaker Ahmed Nazim said the initial Customs timeline was invalid and a corrected one was later submitted under the Commissioner General of Customs, though the committee meeting ended without a decision on the report.
