PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has uncovered a syndicate involved in the smuggling of tobacco and liquor that misuses import licences with the aid of forwarding agents.
MACC senior director (special operations) Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin said its investigation under "Ops Sikaro" found that several import companies abused valid licenses issued to them by making false declarations to avoid paying taxes.
