Revenue seized over 81,000 illegal cigarettes that were smuggled through Dublin Airport in packages labelled 'air beds' yesterday
The cigarettes were branded ‘Marlboro Gold’ and ‘L&M’ and had an estimated retail value of €64,000. They represented a potential loss to the Exchequer of approximately €50,000.
The gaspers were hidden in two air cargo consignments that had arrived at Dublin Airport from Germany. The haul was subsequently seized from a vehicle in North County Dublin. A man in his 30s has been questioned in relation to the find.
