Guyana investigating port smuggling claims
The Guyana government said it is investigating allegations of widespread smuggling at its seaports, according to a report Monday by the Associated Press.
The report said a task force is probing whether customs personnel 'are colluding with shipping agents to clear containers without charging taxes or import duties. Chief government auditor Deo Sharma said investigators are aggressively poring over port workers’ bank accounts to determine a possible pattern of corruption.'
Guyana is a small nation on the northern coast of South America. It's largest port is in Georgetown, which is also the largest city and capital of the country.
