Euro Weekly News | Gibraltar tobacco contraband on the rise | Costa del Sol | News | The Largest English Language Newspapers in Spain: "TOBACCO smuggling between Gibraltar and Spain has risen by 15 per cent during 2010, official sources say. This has led Guardia Civil and Spanish Customs to launch a campaign during which they seized more than 8,600 packets of cigarettes smuggled from Gibraltar to Spain in just three days.
The Government wants to put a stop to this activity because the Spanish public finance gain loses from €2,000 million each year due to contraband.
So far this year, more than 1.5 million packets of cigarettes have been seized by customs officers, 40,000 in La Linea alone."
