Factory raids in Paraguay

Paraguayan law enforcement officials have raided three cigarette factories near Ciudad del Este and confiscated about 2,500 boxes of presumably falsified U.S. Mild cigarettes. The targeted factories were Tabacalera Internacional, Tabacalera Intasa and Tabacalera Talavera. The public prosecutor announced he would press charges against Reinerio Santacruz, Jorge Esteban Oviedo, Arsenio Ramon Gayoso and Sidronio Talavera. The counterfeit cigarettes were reportedly destined for Brazil. Enditem
