Cigarette Smuggling Bust Shines Light on Greek Contraband Trade Greece is perfectly positioned as a hub for the trade in illicit cigarettes and other tobacco products. Greeks themselves are also hooked on VAT-free smokes.

Στο #BalkanInsight αναλύουμε το παράνομο εμπόριο καπνικών προϊόντων. Η Ελλάδα αποτελεί κέντρο των παράνομων διαδρομών. Ειδικοί λένε ότι η υψηλή φορολογία και η αδυναμία ελέγχου του διαμετακομιστικού εμπορίου λόγω του μεγάλου όγκου ενισχύουν την ανάπτυξη του παράνομου καπνικού εμπορίου.
