The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has arrested three senior officials of the National Revenue Authority (NRA) attached to the ASYCUDA Department over the alleged misappropriation of Le 300 billion.
According to sources familiar with the investigation, the officials are currently in ACC custody as investigators probe suspected financial irregularities linked to customs and revenue processing systems. At the time of reporting, the identities of the suspects have not been officially released, pending further investigative procedures.
The arrests form part of a broader anti-corruption drive aimed at strengthening accountability within revenue-generating institutions, particularly departments responsible for customs clearance and automated data systems. The ASYCUDA platform plays a central role in import and export documentation, making it a critical area of concern for fiscal transparency.
In a related development, the ACC has confirmed that it is also investigating the Immigration Department over allegations involving the irregular issuance of diplomatic and service passports. Officials say the inquiry seeks to determine whether established procedures were breached and whether any public officials abused their positions.
The Commission has reiterated its commitment to due process, emphasizing that all suspects remain innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. It also assured the public that updates would be provided as investigations progress.
These developments have renewed public debate around governance, institutional oversight, and the safeguarding of public funds at a time when economic pressures continue to weigh heavily on citizens.
Komon-Tok Platform will continue to monitor the situation and bring verified updates as they emerge.
