loosecanon50: It is not just cigarettes. He didn't declare it to customs because he was trying to evade paying duty tax on them. Allowance is 200 cigarettes and he had 83k plus on him that was clearly meant for the black market. 5 Likes |

loosecanon50: He committed a crime, he was given a court date after being released from jail. He has to answer for his actions and there isn’t an excuse on the globe as to why $28,000 worth of tobacco was in his luggage undeclared. By telling them the excuse about bringing them for his cousin, he admitted to knowing that they were in his luggage—he basically admitted to the crime. |

loosecanon50: Nonsense excuse of crime as usual. No wonder your people don't stop crime because people like you will excuse it. If the duty on the cigarettes alone is over 28,000 pounds, that should tell you it's a lot of cigarettes already. Likely worth over £100k. He was definitely going to sell it. How many cigarettes is his cousin smoking? 3 Likes |

loosecanon50:Read and comprehend He has already pleaded guilty What remains is a trial of the facts To determine sentence Not being previously convicted may help him escape with a fine The main issue is he may be ordered to pay the duty he was evading and they may still not give him the cigarettes It is a common offence that people commit when they travel because cigarettes are heavily taxed in the UK a pack of 20 retails as high as £15. People usually bring in a few boxes for personal use and if caught at the airport they pay an instant fine and the duty and continue home. This ended up in court because it wa clearly commercial scale and not for personal use The British justice system has an everyday for the thief mentality They may take the view he has been doing it a long time and they want to collect arrears that he has previously evaded and issue an eye watering fine especially if they can trace his assets 5 Likes |
