Confiscated Discaya cars now 30
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) now has custody of 30 luxury vehicles linked to the Discaya couple over alleged import irregularities and tax liabilities.
Contractor Sarah Discaya admitted to owning 28 high-end vehicles, and the total number of confiscated vehicles has since risen to 30.
BOC Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno stated that the agency is establishing the corresponding tax liabilities to ensure government revenues are collected and that violators of anti-smuggling laws will be held accountable.
The Discayas have implicated officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways and lawmakers in anomalous flood control contracts during separate House and Senate probes.
Their companies, Omega & Alpha Construction and St. Timothy Construction, are among the top contractors that have secured P100 billion worth of flood-control projects since 2022.
The BOC has also mandated all its personnel to submit affidavits disclosing any familial ties involved in the customs brokerage industry.
