Military police seized about 500 packs of smuggled cigarettes in Sorocaba today. The contraband was stored in a farm in the Cajuru neighborhood, in the northern part of the city.

The police came to the scene after an anonymous tip. Six people were arrested in the act and taken to the Federal Police Station.



Cigarette cases came from Paraguay and entered the country illegally. The goods would be distributed in the city's commerce.



The defendants will respond to the process for misappropriation and, according to the PF, may also have their assets blocked.
