Pohang Coast Guard arrests Russian king crab smuggling fishing boat… 2 crew members arrested
Pohang Coast Guard (Chief Kim Ji-han) announced on March 1 that it arrested fishing boat A, which smuggled Russian king crabs from a foreign cargo ship on the high seas, and is currently investigating the arrest of two domestic crew members, including the captain, for violating the Customs Act.
According to Pohang Coast Guard, fishing boat A smuggled approximately 5,400 kg of Russian red king crabs and hairy crabs (equivalent to approximately 500 million won in market value), and all of the relevant seafood products were confiscated. In addition, it plans to continue investigating additional crimes such as violations of the Imported Food Act and accomplices.
Chief Kim Ji-han stated, “We will further strengthen cooperative relationships with related organizations such as the military and customs to respond strictly and resolutely to crimes such as drug smuggling and illegal immigration that occur at sea.”
Meanwhile, if a person attempting to import goods fails to report it to the customs director, it is a violation of the Customs Act and may be subject to imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine equivalent to the higher amount of 10 times the amount of customs duty or the cost of the goods. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스 대구경북 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
