Revenue Officers Seize Illegal Tobacco And Cigarettes
Revenue officers in Dublin have seized more than 2,000 cigarettes and almost 3kg of rolling tobacco as part of an ongoing operation into the illegal importation, supply and sale of tobacco products.
The cigarettes branded "MG" and "Marlboro Gold" were seized along with 2.9kg of "Flandria" and "Samson" tobacco when officers searched a car in Dublin's South inner city.
The car was seized because it was being used to transport the contraband cigarettes and tobacco.
The combined value of the seized tobacco product is in excess of €5,000, representing a potential loss to the Exchequer of almost €3,000.
Investigations are ongoing with a view to prosecution, Revenue said.
