Burkina Faso and Tunisia authorities conduct major seizures

In Burkina Faso, customs authorities announced a major seizure in Tenkodogo involving a public transport bus. The haul, valued at over 75 million CFA francs, included 60 million CFA francs in counterfeit 5,000 CFA banknotes, 12 kilograms of fake currency, and various illicit substances including cannabis, Tapentadol, and Vasilium.

In Tunisia, the Ministry of Commerce and Export Development, in coordination with security services, has seized more than 147,000 liters of bottled water since mid-July. These interventions target infractions regarding price compliance and transaction transparency. The crackdown follows a period of water shortages and high demand driven by heatwaves and production disruptions.
