What specific brands of liquor were confiscated in the raid?

Question

Accepted Answer

No specific brands of liquor were identified in the confiscation.

The raid on Jalan Feri Lama, Mukah, resulted in the seizure of 22,000 cartons of liquor of various brands. However, the available information does not detail the specific brands that were confiscated. The operation, which took place around 7:30 PM yesterday, led to the arrest of four individuals, including a foreigner, who were unable to produce valid documentation from the Royal Malaysian Customs Department.
Seizure Details

In addition to the 22,000 cartons of liquor, which were reportedly brought in from overseas for distribution within the local market, authorities also impounded a barge, two trucks, ten trailers, and a ship crane. The total estimated value of all seized items amounts to RM11,327,200. This operation is considered the largest arrest and seizure in Mukah for the current year.
Suspects and Investigation

The four suspects, whose ages range from 43 to 59, have been remanded for six days to facilitate ongoing investigations. Preliminary checks indicated that the individuals did not have prior criminal records. The case is currently being investigated under Section 135(1) of the Customs Act 1967, a provision that addresses offences related to the evasion of customs duties and taxes.
Customs Compliance

A central element of the investigation is the failure of the arrested individuals to present valid documents from the Royal Malaysian Customs Department. This suggests a potential attempt to circumvent established tax and import regulations. The liquor was allegedly being stored in ten containers to avoid paying Customs tax, highlighting the nature of the alleged smuggling operation.
