The operations were against smuggling of wildlife, antiques, drugs, narcotic substances and currency
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) and its sister agencies participated in 11 international operations, during which 18 significant seizures of banned articles were made in 2019-20.
Under the aegis of the World Customs Organisation, the agency took part in the operations against the smuggling of wildlife, hazardous wastes, ozone-depleting substances, antiques, drugs, narcotic and psychotropic substances and currency.
The DRI also steered Operation Sesha-III in November-December last year, against the smuggling of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora-listed species of timber, which was the first ever global Customs enforcement operation sponsored by India.
