The UK’s top 32 tax criminals of 2012 have been sentenced to a combined total of 155 years and 10 months behind bars, including a gang of seven men who smuggled more than 20 million cigarettes into the UK from Dubai and a London-based jeweller who evaded more than GBP 7 million VAT by smuggling gold bought in Dubai into the UK.
The jeweller, Chaudray Ali, was sentenced to nine years in prison. The gang of seven, which described over 20 million smuggled cigarettes on shipping documents as babies’ toys, received a collective sentence of 24 years and six months.
