BOC now in custody of Discayas' 28 luxury vehicles
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has taken custody of 28 luxury vehicles owned by the family of contractor Sarah Discaya.
The Discaya family surrendered 16 additional vehicles on Thursday, bringing the total to 28, following the BOC's seizure of 12 vehicles earlier.
The vehicles were surrendered after their compound was vandalized and splattered with mud amid alleged anomalies discovered over flood control projects their construction firms handled.
The BOC is currently processing the surrendered vehicles for sealing, documentation, and assessment of duties and taxes.
Customs Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno stated that the vehicles will be returned if legitimate purchases are proven with authentic documents and all tax liabilities are settled.
The Discaya family is under scrutiny for securing P31 billion in flood control projects from 2022 to 2025.
The family's legal counsel stated that the initially seized 12 vehicles were locally purchased, not imported, but the BOC seized them due to a lack of verified entry records.
