The Federal Police, in yet another operation to suppress smuggling and embezzlement, on Lake Itaipu, seized a boat full of smuggled goods, late yesterday afternoon (22), in Itaipulândia, in western Paraná.

The six-meter fiber boat and 225 HP engine was loaded with approximately 40 boxes of cigarettes.

Before the approach of the federal police, the pilot landed on the Brazilian bank, close to the place known as Porto dos Padres, and fled through the riparian forest. Still on site, a Honda 125 motorcycle was used, used by freight forwarders.

The total value of the seizure is estimated at approximately R $ 60 thousand. The seized boat, motorcycle and cigarettes were sent to the Federal Revenue of Brazil in Foz do Iguaçu.
