Sefa seizes 12 tons of live pigs and over 85,000 kg of soybeans
The load of live pigs had been purchased by an individual whose company has a suspended state registration. The soybeans, which were supposed to be for export, were actually destined for the domestic market.
The State Department of Finance (Sefa) of Pará seized, on Wednesday, the 27th, a load of 12 tons of live pigs, valued at R$ 140,520.00, purchased in the name of an individual. The seizure occurred at the tax post of the Carajás Railway, in Marabá, in the Coordination of Goods in Transit Control of Carajás, in the southeast of the State.
“During the inspection, a vehicle transporting goods from Rio Maria, destined for the municipality of Moju, was approached. After document analysis, consultation with Sefa's systems, and cross-referencing information, it was verified that the individual buyer has a company, but it has a suspended state registration, a situation that undermines the regularity of the operation, as they cannot sell or purchase goods, and highlights the attempt to cover up the circulation of goods without the proper ICMS collection,” explained the unit coordinator, Cicinato Oliveira.
A Seizure and Deposit Term (TAD) was drawn up, totaling R$ 37,378.32, referring to the ICMS and fine.
Soybeans - In an inspection also carried out on Wednesday, at the Coordination of Goods in Transit Control of Gurupi, 85,420 kg of soybeans were seized, in two road train vehicles originating from and destined for Sorriso-MT, stating that the load was intended for export.
“The inspection decided to conduct a physical inspection of the load, and the low quality of the soybeans was verified. The quality report of the load was requested, which was presented by the driver and it was proven that the soybean load was damaged, that is, it did not meet the minimum standards for export, being destined for the domestic market for feed production,” informed the unit coordinator, Gustavo Bozola.
After consultations in the system, it was identified that the soybean load originated in Barcarena and was destined for the city of São Luís-MA. The load, valued at R$ 203,228.70, was retained, and two Seizure and Deposit Terms (TADs) were drawn up totaling R$ 34,142.41.
