Gambian diplomats convicted in UK embassy tobacco racket
A group of Gambian diplomats were convicted on Monday for ordering 26 tonnes of tobacco supposedly for personal consumption to then sell it illegally from their London embassy to queues of buyers.
YusuphaBojang, the deputy head of the Gambian Diplomatic Mission in London, and his six co-defendants were found guilty of cheating the British state out of £4.8 million ($7.5 million, 6.1 million euros) in unpaid tax over a three-year period.
