Tobacco smugglers hit with confiscation orders
A company director, who was jailed for smuggling over three tonnes of tobacco disguised as scented pot pourri through Manchester airport, has been ordered to repay £34,500 in stolen tax.
Mohammed ShazedJameel was ordered to repay the money following a financial investigation by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
HMRC traced 33 illegal freight consignments back to Jameel, which added up to over three tonnes of tobacco. He was ordered to repay £34,500 within three months or face a compulsory default jail sentence of an additional two years. Jameel had been jailed previously for 38 months on 17 April 2015 at Manchester Crown Court for the smuggling offences.
