Béjaïa Port: Customs seize over 191 kg of silver

Customs officers at the 'Cheikh El-Haddad' maritime terminal in Béjaïa port have seized over 191 kilograms of silver jewelry. The discovery followed a detailed inspection of a traveler's vehicle and luggage arriving on a ferry from Sète, France. Although the passenger declared the items as imitation jewelry, subsequent technical analysis identified them as genuine silver. The customs administration stated that this operation is part of ongoing efforts to combat illegal capital movement and protect the national economy.
