Tobacco gangs using truck drivers’ cabs to smuggle cash
Tobacco smuggling gangs are hiding plastic bags stuffed with hundreds of thousands of euro in cash in the cabins of foreign-bound trucks in a new system to siphon off their millions. Customs officers have identified the trend after making a number of seizures, in one case involving a bag containing almost €300,000 in cash. In the vast majority of cases, the truck drivers claim they have no idea how the bag of cash got into their cabin — but Customs suspect they either do it for a small payment or under duress.
