Latvia – Customs confiscates €15m in sanctioned goods

A broadcast news story has provided data on the enforcement activity of Latvia’s Customs.

The story reports that:

  • roughly twice a week a shipment of sanctioned goods to Russia is stopped;
  • 30 cargoes of military goods have been stopped; and
  • Customs have confiscated €15m in sanctioned goods through its work at inspections at checkpoints, of which roughly €3m has so far been sold.

The new story does not state over what period the confiscations took place.
