Germany & Russia: Multi-million-dollar business with Jin Ling Cigarettes
Experts believe that the illegal trading of cigarettes is bigger than the smuggling of either heroin or weapons. Sixty-four billion cigarettes are smuggled each year in Europe alone creating an estimated tax deficit of over 10 billion Euros. The brand "Jin Ling" is produced in Eastern Europe solely to be traded illegally. There are supposedly 300 selling points for the brand in Berlin alone, posing a huge challenge to police and customs authorities.
OPERATION "BOOMERANG" HITS CIGARETTE SMUGGLERS
In a joint operation German customs investigators, together with their Belgian and Greek counterparts and supported by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), have dismantled a transnational criminal organisation involved in cigarette smuggling. Over 640 million cigarettes were seized across Europe and, in Germany alone, 28 arrests were made. The results of this operation, dubbed “Boomerang” by the German authorities, were presented today in Cologne by the Zollkriminalamt.
OLAF-Director General Franz-Hermann Brüner congratulated the customs investigators in Germany, Belgium and Greece: ”This investigation is another example of the effectiveness of international co-operation in the fight against cross- border organised crime. OLAF was happy to contribute to this successful operation against cigarette smuggling“.
After more than two years of work, customs investigators were able to dismantle the structures of this criminal organisation that has been operating in Greece, Belgium and Germany. A Belgian hub for their cigarette smuggling business near Liège was uncovered in April by Belgian and German investigators; 9 people were arrested. Co-operation between Greek and German investigators led to the detention of another four suspects near Athens in June. Several further suspects were simultaneously arrested in northern Germany.
