The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has recovered two Bugatti Chirons, worth around $3 million each, that were smuggled into the Philippines. The rare luxury sports cars were surrendered by their owners after Customs called for public assistance in locating them.
An IT system with a weak audit trail makes it easy to smuggle in one of the world's most expensive sports cars. After a three-week search, the Bureau of Customs (BOC) finally recovered the two luxury sports cars that were smuggled into the Philippines . Both were Bugatti Chiron s – cars so rare that only 500 units were ever produced from 2016 to 2022 in a Bugatti factory in France. Each is priced at around $3 million or P165 million.
The BOC didn’t so much find the cars as have their owners surrender them – perhaps out of fear after Customs called on the public to help spot the sports cars on the road
