The Customs and Excise Office on Thursday destroyed 103,057 bottles of alcoholic drinks imported illegally at the Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) I in the Tanjung Priok port, Jakarta.
The drinks were imported illegally by falsifying import data and using names of other companies, the office said in a statement.
The office said it was also investigating seven cases of alcohol smuggling that happened this year, which might cause the state to lose Rp 18 billion (US$1.9 million).
