KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): Customs manager based in the Spin Boldak district of southern Kandahar province has been arrested along with some border policeman on the charge of embezzling government’s revenue, an official said on Tuesday.
The detained men have been accused of allowing trucks carrying commercial goods without paying taxes and thus pocketing millions of afghanis.
The governor’s spokesman, Samim Khpalwak, told Pajhwok Afghan News the officials had been detained based on evidence produced by an investigation team appointed by the governor’s house.
He did not provide the exact number . . .
