2,500 kg of “roll your own” tobacco were seized by Revenue Officers today during a routine raid at a commercial area in County Meath.
With an estimated retail value of over €1.7 million and a potential loss to the exchequer of over €1.4 million, the illicit tobacco, branded under the name “Flandria Virginia,” originated in the Netherlands.
Investigations are ongoing.
This seizure is part of Revenue’s ongoing operations targeting the shadow economy and the supply of illegal tobacco products.
Revenue has urged businesses or members of the public who have any information regarding smuggling, to contact them in confidence on the confidential free phone number 1800 295 295.
