“The large amount of liquor was found on a chinese ship which is officially was on his way to China, but whose actual final destination, suspected to have been north Korea. The customs authority’s suspicions are aroused because the ship entered an unusual route.”
“The Dutch minister of Sigrid Kaag justify the seizure by reference to the UN sanctions against north Korea.”
