Seizure of Ammunition in Italy with Forged Documents
March 4, 2026
The Italian financial police seized over 10 million detonators and 314,000 ammunition at the port of Ancona. The transporter provided false information on shipping documents, with the cargo destined for Cyprus via Greece. Transporting such materials on a passenger ship violates safety regulations and requires special permits. The driver is accused of illegal possession and use of forged documents. The seizure was made after an analysis of trade flows revealed irregularities.
