Mushroom smugglers busted in Nantou, Tainan

The Coast Guard had been monitoring the traffickers for half a year before arresting them in both Nantou and Tainan yesterday, where they discovered approximately 24 tons of mushroom products worth more than NT$20 million.

All suspects admitted to participating in the smuggling after being questioned by police.

The smuggled mushroom products were not screened by customs officials and therefore might pose a threat to people's health, said a Coast Guard official.
