The "Alize" remained stationary at Istanbul on June 1, 2019, as the court formalities were yet to be completed. The ship was still under arrest at Haydarpasa port.

The "Alize" became suspect in smuggling cigarettes by the Turkish customs, after they were tipped by a Northern Cyprus correspondent in Famagusta. The vessel was put under surveillance, when it passed the Straits and headed to Kherson, before setting sail for a new voyage via the Straits. Upon arrival at Istanbul on July 8, 2016, the "Alize" was detained and searched. 3 million 300 thousand packs of contraband cigarettes were found aboard, and the vessel and the crew of six were put under arrest.
