Heavy smoker’ is caught smuggling 33,000 cigarettes
A “heavy smoker” caught smuggling 33,000 cigarettes into Scotland has been ordered to pay more than £9,000 in duties.
Iwona Monica Kowal was caught with contraband cigarettes hidden in her baggage on three separate occasions at Glasgow and Edinburgh airports in 2013.
The 44-year-old, from Dundee, admitted trying to avoid paying excise duty.
A civil order was made for recovery of the £9,240, and a sheriff sentenced Kowal to 200 hours of unpaid work.
The English student was first caught with 15,800 contraband cigarettes at Glasgow Airport on 8 April, 2013, as she flew back from Poland.
