PM Browne Announces ‘People’s Restitution Fund’ for Customs Violations
Prime Minister Gaston Browne says his government will establish a new “People’s Restitution Fund” to collect penalties, interest, and other charges from importers found guilty of customs violations.

The announcement follows Browne’s recent comments about restitution efforts in the ongoing government vehicle probe, where one dealer agreed to repay $10 million.
