Nearly 2 packs of smuggled cigarettes were seized by civil police in the city of Colniza (1.065 km north of Cuiabá). Roberto Círio de Barros Braga, 24, and Samir dos Santos Salim, 25, were arrested in the act for smuggling and embezzlement crimes.

The 2 prisoners left Lucas do Rio Verde to sell the goods in Colniza. Inside a hotel room, the Civil Police found 195 closed packages with 10 packs each, all from 3 well-known brands.


Each package was being sold at R $ 20, which would yield about R $ 4 thousand to the accused.


The 2 prisoners were taken to the Colniza Public Prison. (Advisory / PJC)
