​Request
I would like to know how many arrests made by Customs officers were the result of a tipoff since 2012?
I would also like to know how many of these tipoffs came from an official body (Customs officers, police officers, airport authorities or others from foreign countries) or from individuals?
I would also like to know how the people and vehicles stopped by Customs Officers are selected.
