In a note, the Federal Revenue Service added that cargo was selected for inspection based on risk analysis criteria, including non-intrusive inspection by scanning images. During the work, a sniffing dog indicated the presence of drugs.
When the narcotics were found, the Federal Police were called in to carry out the judicial procedures necessary. An investigation into the case has been launched as part of a police inquiry.
