Turning a car into scrap
A picture was printed in your paper on 26 April showing one of the two Mercedes Benz cars being turned into scrap as those were reportedly imported under false declaration for tax evasion. Since it was done in line with a High Court ruling, possibly there was no other option.
But as a layman it appears to me that the valuable cars could be confiscated and sold through public auction and the proceeds could be donated to any charitable organisation. The owner's punishment would not differ if such an action were taken.
