The
Senate says arrangements have been concluded to hand over companies found
culpable in its investigation of alleged N30 trillion revenue scam in the
import and export value chain to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
EFCC, for prosecution.
Chairman
of the Senate Joint Committee on Customs, Excise and Tariff and Marine
Transport, Senator Hope Uzodinma, stated this in Abuja while briefing reporters
on the activities of his committee.
Uzodinma
noted that companies to be handed over to the EFCC were those discovered to
have manipulated the foreign exchange procedure and others involved in
money laundering, round tripping and abuse of foreign exchange manual.
He said
the committee would pass all established evidence against the companies to the
EFCC for immediate prosecution. Uzodinma
added that, companies with established cases of infractions of import, export
value chain would be referred to the Nigeria Customs Service for blacklisting.
