As the probe into fraudulent activities allegedly carried out by Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) employees with Fidelity Investment deepens, bombshell revelations about a scheme to smuggle polar beer into the country resulted in two custom officials being sent on leave yesterday while another two are being closely monitored.

The probe initiated by President Bharrat Jagdeo has reportedly cracked wide open the shady dealings of a few in the hierarchy of customs and has at the same time raised questions about a possible smuggling ring that has operated for sometime.
