Coventry smokers who buy illegal tobacco helping to sustain criminal gangs
Coventry smokers who buy illegal tobacco products are helping to sustain criminal gangs who make millions from the illicit trade.That’s the stark message from Crimestoppers, the UK’s crime-fighting charity, as part of a campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of the illicit trade.The warning is also backed up by the taxman, with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) confirming that the global trade in tobacco smuggling is dominated by organised crime gangs, boosting the crooks’ coffers and damaging legitimate businesses.
