A large-scale scam has come to light where 350 smuggled luxury vehicles were shown as “auctioned” using fake records. Corrupt customs officials, car dealers, and insiders manipulated the WeBOC system to generate false auction data, allowing illegal vehicles to be registered and sold without paying import duties.
The fraud involved several major cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Multan. These vehicles were then officially registered through provincial excise offices, making recovery difficult. So far, only one Deputy Collector has been suspended, while calls grow louder for a full probe and crackdown on all involved parties.
