Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s Financial Intelligence Office (GIFIM) is advocating the placement of goods scanners at land, sea and air border posts as a way of strengthening inspection and combating smuggling.<\/p>\n

According to the GFIM, current inspection activities are insignificant, and the absence of physical barriers at border posts facilitates permeability.<\/p>\n

The source adds that smuggling goes on both for reasons of tax evasion and to facilitate the exit and entry of minerals and precious stones, since the country has high levels of artisanal and illicit mining.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe evaluation grade attributed to the quality of control variables at borders is low. As for the proposals to address the deficiencies found, we would highlight the availability of equipment which can objectively assist in the fight against cross-border crimes,\u201d the GIFIM says.<\/p>\n

In its study on \u2018National Risk Assessment of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism\u2019, the GIFIM notes that permeability is registered even where border crossings are established, with entities such as the police, migration and customs sometimes hampering preventative actions and the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relaxed attitude towards the inhabitants of areas near the border posts, which they frequently cross, whether for the purpose of shopping, family visits or access to education, has also resulted in the erosion of border control mechanisms, all because of corruption,\u201d the GIFIM stresses.<\/p>\n
