Bat Denies Smuggling Claims
As British American Tobacco (BAT) denies claims it’s been involved in cigarette smuggling, the National Council Against Smoking says there’s a strong incentive for tobacco firms to smuggle their own products.
This morning Eyewitness News revealed that a document formally submitted to Parliament suggested there was strong evidence BAT had been involved in smuggling along with State Security Agency officials.
The document was given to Parliament’s Finance Portfolio Committee by former South African Revenue Service (Sars) spokesperson Adrian Lackay as part of his submissions about the secret spy unit saga.
