Tax fraud hits Mombasa
15 Jun 2008
An established tax fraud has been discovered at the Kenyan port of Mombasa by that country's Anti-corruption Commission.
The scam involved goods being released from the port without the payment of duty and port levies. It is believed that some of the goods may even have been contraband.
The fraud involved criminals buying up imports that had stayed in the port beyond the 21-day limit, then declaring that they were unfit for human consumption. These goods were then released free of all charges.
