The Brazilian Federal Revenue Service seized smuggled Bitcoin mining machines and satellite equipment

ChainCatcher news, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RF) recently seized 10 Bitcoin mining machines and 8 satellite internet devices, suspected of document non-compliance and smuggling through Paraguay. The seized products were shipped by two companies, destined for São Paulo and Maranhão, and the goods were chosen to be shipped from Foz do Iguaçu instead of the companies' registered locations, increasing the suspicion of smuggling.

The Federal Revenue Service stated that it will submit the case to the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF), and the responsible persons of the related companies may face charges of smuggling or tax evasion.
