The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has seized 12 vehicles in connection with an ongoing investigation into alleged illegal registration practices at the Department of Motor Traffic. According to CIABOC, the vehicles were registered without going through the required Customs release procedures, suggesting potential corruption and violations of official protocols.
The seized vehicles include a variety of high-end models, such as one Jeep, six Mitsubishi Montero Jeeps, three Toyota Jeeps, one Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, and one Nissan Double Cab.
CIABOC officials have initiated scientific and technical investigations to determine the methods used to bypass regulations and to evaluate the financial impact of these irregularities on the state. The investigation is ongoing.
