Cigarette Smuggling Is Everyone’s Business
At the border checkpoint between the Spanish town La Linea de la Concepcion and the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar where they will buy tax-free cigarettes for just €2.20 a pack. No one is interested in buying the well-known brands. They prefer the so-called illicit whites – the brand name cigarettes from an unknown origin. They will buy cartons of these illicit whites. Before they cross the border back into Spain, they will empty out the cartons and hide the cigarette packs on their body. Those who manage to return to the Spanish side of the border, head to the coffee kiosks at a small square nearby. There, they take out the packs and hand them over to the men working in the smuggling chain. The cigarette packs are destined to travel safely all over Spain.Persons who are unemployed are also engaged in this.
