Driver tried to smuggle ten million cigarettes into Hull disguised as frozen chickens.
A lorry driver caught smuggling almost ten million illegal cigarettes disguised as frozen chickens into Hull has been jailed. Robert Januszewski, 48, of Poland, has been sentenced to four years in prison for trying to smuggle the cigarettes worth more than £2.5m in unpaid duty taxes through The Port of Hull. Januszewski was stopped by Border Force officers as he entered Hull from Europort in Rotterdam, Holland, on February 6 last year. His paperwork said he was transporting a load of frozen chickens to an address in Leeds. But when officers searched the refrigerated trailer, they found boxes filled with 9,686,800 Richmond cigarettes. Januszewski claimed he did not know about the cigarettes, which were seized by Border Force. The case was passed to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for investigation over claims £2,621,808 duty had not been paid.
