BOC clarifies: Discayas’ Rolls-Royce still in custody
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has refuted claims circulating on social media that a seized Rolls-Royce, confiscated from Discaya contractors, was spotted being driven in Metro Manila.
The BOC clarified that the Rolls-Royce vehicle in question, along with other luxury vehicles belonging to the Discayas, are currently in the official custody and secure storage of the Bureau, under strict supervision of the Customs Police.
A significant discrepancy was noted in the license plate numbers, with the viral post showing a plate ending in '949,' while the seized vehicle's plate ends in '889,' effectively debunking the online assertion.
The Bureau emphasized that any unauthorized removal or tampering with seized properties is a serious offense, punishable by administrative and criminal penalties under customs laws.
The BOC also stated it does not intend to file charges against the individual who posted the unverified claim, urging the public to confirm information before sharing it online.
