Tobacco, cash and firearms worth more than $6 million have been seized in police raids across Victoria linked to an organised crime boss, as a legal fight in the state's tobacco war hits a hurdle.
A joint operation between the Australian Tax Office and Victoria Police's Lunar and VIPER taskforces discovered 3.3 tonnes of illicit tobacco, more than $170,000 cash and 11 firearms as part of their investigation into the cultivation and distribution of illicit tobacco.
