Forged documents found for Iranian cargoes

Doha: Doha Port Customs has found that a number of ships are delivering to and from Iran via Kuwait using a series of formed seals and documents, contravening strict sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

Sources explained that "customs officers found the seizures during routine inspections in dealing with ships and boats, and they referred the case to the competent authorities”. They added that investigations will likely reveal reasons for rigging these forms in the coming days and those who stand behind it.  [16/06/13]
