Manager of Springfield tobacco sales warehouse admits role in $43 million scheme to deprive government of excise taxes
SPRINGFIELD — A tobacco wholesaler who ran a warehouse in this city pleaded guilty to trafficking smokeless tobacco products, as part of a larger interstate cigar and tobacco smuggling ring that robbed the government of $43 million in excise taxes.
Jaspal Singh, of Seymour, Conn., is an immigrant from India and faces deportation in addition to a maximum of five years in prison. He struck a plea deal that will include potentially testifying against the man prosecutors say was the ringleader: Syed I. Bokhari, of Middletown, Conn.
