International smuggling rings busted
The US authorities say they have smashed several major international smuggling rings stretching from the US to China, Taiwan and the Philippines.
In all, 29 people were charged with distributing contraband cigarettes and fake luxury goods in the United States, as well as drug smuggling.
The smuggled goods were manufactured in China and were worth hundreds of millions of dollars, prosecutors say.
All the rings used a port in New Jersey. Six suspects remain at large.
The US authorities say undercover agents used phone tapping to dismantle.
