MORE THAN A million illegally smuggled cigarettes were seized at Dublin Port yesterday.
Revenue estimate that the value of the haul is €516,000 with a potential loss to the exchequer of €430,000 in taxes.
The ‘Benson & Hedges’ branded cigarettes were concealed in a roll-on roll-off container that arrived into Dublin Port from the United Arab Emirates and were falsely declared as ‘foil containers’.
