Case 1 – Suspects Attempted to Smuggle Native Reptiles Hidden in Stuffed Toys
AUSTRAC information led to the arrest of two Hong Kong nationals based in Australia suspected of being involved in the illegal exportation of Australian native reptiles. Authorities intercepted a parcel destined for Hong Kong which contained native Australian reptiles concealed in stuffed toys. The suspects used false consignor and consignee information in an attempt to evade detection by Customs authorities. AUSTRAC information revealed a link between the address listed on the parcel and an address associated with a person previously suspected of involvement in wildlife smuggling
Case 2 – Company Evaded Millions in Cigarette Tax Through Duty Free Fraud
AUSTRAC information assisted authorities with an investigation into a company suspected of a multi-million dollar duty free fraud. The investigation resulted in the company and its two directors being convicted of fraudrelated charges. The investigation revealed that, over a three-year period, a complex arrangement was set up where the directors of the company, which traded as a duty free store, sold large quantities of ‘underbond’ cigarettes (cigarettes on which excise duty had not been paid). The directors sold the cigarettes and profited by avoiding paying the required customs and excise duty. In total, authorities believe that the suspects evaded more than AUD2.5 million tax.
