Government says US plane conflict caused by 'customs error'

Cabinet Chief Aníbal Fernández referred to “irregularities” detected in the probe over the military and medical equipment seized from an US Air Force plane, saying it was a “customs fault.”

Writing in his Twitter account, the minister added: “it was a customs mistake, and I explained it as many times as I could.” And he went on: “the Customs Office did not inform the Judiciary because it didn’t apply” adding “the judge determined there was no crime”.
