Copy of letter dated 24. 3. 36 from Mr. Abbas Ghulan, Bahrein
to the Collector of Customs, Karachi.
I beg to report that there are certain Arab merchants
residing at Karachi smuggling various merchandise goods.
These merchants are ABDUL-RAHMA.N AI*5HAHT215N &. YUSOUF AL
HARZOOQ,
These two merchants buy goods in transit for Dubai
and load them in their own local crafts, but the said
bought goods do not actually come to Dubai.
The oighters so loaded with the goods leave Karachi
to a distance of an hour or so, the crew or the Merchants
representatives remove the wrapping of the packages and
unloaded them in bulk into small lighters and smuggle
them into Karachi by lorries.
These two merchants , through their agent at Dubai ,
have made arrangements with the H.B,M*s Representative -
Khan Sahib Hussain bin Hassan Aim d - and the Customs
official to the effect to endorse the documents of
the smuggled goods testifying that the packages bought
in transit have actually reached Dubai and discharged
there* For such an endorsement Husain Amad receives
from the Agent of these two merchants at Dubai R 5 ,10/-
per package and the Dubai Customs official receives
R 5 . 2/- per package.
The above is brought to your information.
