Napoli. Seventy tons of hazardous waste – consisting of hundreds of compressors, air conditioners, kitchen appliances, refrigerators, monitors and televisions, lead batteries and LPG tanks for cars, tires, uncleaned engines and thousands of components related to vehicle safety – were seized in the Port of Naples by the Naples Customs Office 1. They were headed to Africa.

The analysis activity allowed to intercept the containers in the Neapolitan maritime port, also thanks to the use of sophisticated scanner equipment.

The waste was seized and those responsible for the shipments were reported to the Judicial Authority for ideological forgery and international waste trafficking.
