  • Major International Tobacco Contraband Network Dismantled in Italy and Germany
    PRESS RELEASE No 23 /2014 8 December 2014 Major international tobacco contraband network dismantled in Italy and Germany On 27 November 2014, law enforcement authorities in Italy (Agenzia delle Dogane and Guardia di Finanza) and Germany (Zollkriminalamt Köln and Zollfahndungsamt Berlin) succeeded in dismantling an international tobacco contraband network. The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) contributed to the joint efforts that led to this successful operation. Under the coordination of the Prosecutors of Turin and Frankfurt/Oder, law enforcement officials searched a cigarette production plant near Turin which was found to be producing “made in Italy” cigarettes destined in part for the illegal market in the EU. Investigations are continuing, but to date over 10 persons have been arrested and a large amount of documents detailing financial transactions concerning this traffic were seized. The network produced cigarettes in the EU. It then simulated fictitious exports outside the EU or carried out real exports to third countries and subsequently smuggled the cigarettes back into the EU with the aim of avoiding the applicable customs duties and taxes. It is estimated that the harm caused to the Italian budget alone is in excess of €90 million. The final figures are likely to be much higher. OLAF had, since 2012, investigated activities linked to this network and cooperated in the criminal investigations organised jointly by the Italian and German authorities that led to this operation. In this context, OLAF organised a coordination meeting in autumn 2013 with judicial and law enforcement authorities of these countries and cooperated with several other EU Member States (Belgium, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia) and third countries (Moldavia, Ukraine).

Since becoming a sovereign state 61 years ago, Indonesia is still facing a series of territorial border problems. Up until today, Indonesia has reached agreements with its neighbouring countries related to demarcation and state border delineation. However, the lack of an unequivocal authority for border management has left serious implications for the state’s sovereignty and its citizen’s security. The Indonesian border of today, is still having to deal with border crime, which includes the violation of the territorial border, smuggling and terrorist infiltration, illegal fishing, illegal logging and Human Rights violations. These kinds of violations have also made a serious impact on the state’s sovereignty and citizen’s security. As of today, Indonesia still has an ‘un-settled’ sea territory, with regard to the rights of sovereignty (Additional Zone, Economic Exclusive Zone, and continent plate). This frequently provokes conflict between the authorised sea-territory officer on patrol and foreign ships or fishermen from neighbouring countries. One of the principal border problems is the Sipadan-Ligitan dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia, which started in 1969.

  • GMS Flash Alert 2021-042 Finland
    2021-042 | January 28, 2021 Finland – COVID-19: Travel across Finland’s Borders Further Tightened On 22 January 2021, the Finnish government decided to tighten the restrictions on entry to Finland1. The new restrictions entered into force on 27 January and will remain in force until 25 February. According to the new rules, only essential travel for work is permitted between Finland and other Schengen countries. “Essential travel” constitutes work that is important for the functioning of society or for security of supply, that must be performed by a person or persons arriving from another country, and that must be carried out without delay. WHY THIS MATTERS The travel restrictions have had a considerable impact on travellers and employees moving between Finland and other countries. During the past several months, work-related entry from the Schengen Area has been possible by presenting proof of employment at the border check-point. However, now the new restrictions will limit entry for work purposes to essential work that is significant for the functioning of society or security of supply. Entry Based on Employment Restricted to Essential Tasks As of 27 January, permitted entry for work purposes across Schengen internal borders has been limited to essential work. Essential travel constitutes work that is important for the functioning of society or for security of supply and that must be carried out without delay. Entry requires a separate form2 from the employer to justify the reasons why the entry of an employee is essential and why the work must be performed without delay. The employee seeking to enter Finland is advised to present this form at the border check-point.
