The Directorate General of Research (DGR, the intelligence of the Gabonese gendarmerie) bounce on fraud in ports. A vast operation was launched to put an end to the disorder.

The intelligence services of the gendarmerie, which have conducted most of the recent investigations into Gabonese officials suspected of embezzlement, are currently conducting a vast operation on customs fraud in Gabonese ports. The DGR coordinates an extensive survey of logisticians and freight forwarders active in Gabon. It combs through the declarations submitted by all these actors in the computerized system for processing customs declarations Sydonia, which is used in the country's main ports. This consensual operation will make it possible to determine whether the customs declarations are faithful to the contents of the containers and to recover, if necessary, the sums that have escaped the Gabonese Treasury. The investigation, conducted with a bang, has already yielded results: two operators and a freight forwarder have already been fined.
