Pakistani indicted for smuggling<\/p>\n
TANGERANG (JP): A Pakistani identified as Munaf A Latif, 40,
\nwas indicted at Tangerang District Court for attempting to
\nsmuggle out three boxes of pornographic video compact discs
\n(VCDs) to Pakistan by airplane through Soekarno-Hatta
\nInternational Airport.<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Supriati said in her indictment at the trial
\npresided over by Judge Tukiran that the defendant tried to
\nsmuggle out the VCDs on Dec. 1.<\/p>\n
The goods, which were handled by PT Muskindo Ekspress, were
\nlisted on the airway bill as computer spare parts, including CD
\nROMs, she said.<\/p>\n
When they were checked by customs officers at the airport,
\nhowever, it was uncovered that the contents of the boxes differed
\nfrom that stated on the airway bill, she said.<\/p>\n
Saiful Bahri, one of the two customs officers giving
\ntestimonies at the trial, said he was suspicious because the
\npacking was very poor for computer spare parts, namely in the
\nform of plastic bags.<\/p>\n
\"Based on the suspicion, the boxes were thoroughly checked and
\nthe case later handed over to the police,\" Saiful said. (41\/hhr)<\/p>",
