EPPO seizes €5 million of steel in Naples customs fraud case
The steel products were seized at the port of Naples in an investigation into alleged imports from Türkiye.
European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) investigators seized steel products worth more than €5 million at the port of Naples.
The seizure was carried out at EPPO’s request in a customs fraud investigation involving imports from Türkiye.
Customs fraud is suspected to be linked to the way the steel products were declared when they entered the country. EPPO opened the case through its role in coordinating and prosecuting cross-border offences.
As part of the ongoing investigation, the seized goods were intercepted at the port of Naples, preventing them from continuing through the customs process.
The case is still under investigation as EPPO continues its work into the alleged customs fraud connected to the Turkish imports.
