SENATORS on Tuesday pressed for the creation of courts especially handling agricultural smuggling, expressing alarm over the impunity with which such crime is being committed and seeking more teeth to a 2016 law designating such type of smuggling as economic sabotage.
The Senate hearing was held jointly with the Committees on Agriculture, Food and Agrarian Reform, and Finance. At the same time, she confirmed that lawmakers were also amending the Anti-Smuggling Act to give it more teeth and to include hoarding, price manipulation and cartel as economic sabotage and non-bailable.
The main purpose of the Anti-Agricultural Smuggling Court, he said, is to try cases involving smuggling, hoarding, profiteering and cartel of agricultural products and to ensure that individuals and organizations involved in these activities are held accountable for their actions.
