The Guardia di Finanza and the Customs and Monopolies Agency, during a joint operation, seized a ton of barrels without the necessary authorizations in the port of Gioia Tauro.
The explosive material was found in containers coming from China . The attached customs documentation indicated that inside the containers there was material of various types of legal, but the checks, thanks also to the scanner equipment in the possession of the financial police and the operators of the Customs and Monopolies Agency, led to the discovery of the illegal firecrackers, hidden in a cover load.
The Public Prosecutor's Office of Palmi was informed of the discovery and is now coordinating the activity of destroying the firecrackers by the Cerimant bomb disposal unit , the Army's supply and maintenance centre.
