Police commenced criminal proceedings in 105 cases and plan to do so in 85 others. Over VND3 trillion (US$150 million) was seized from the offenders. “Smuggling is very complicated. Smugglers resort to both official and unofficial imports, especially from China, Cambodia, and Laos,” Phan Hoan Kiem, head of the city Market Watch Department, told Thoi Bao Kinh te Viet Nam (Viet Nam Economic Times) newspaper.
