Contraband is “big business”
June 30, 2017, http://guyanatimesgy.com/contraband-is-big-business/

Carmichael says it is a growing concern that the illicit trade does not have small operators and despite the many technological advances made to go after these smugglers, there continues to be expansive and substantial resources being invested in purchasing counterfeit devices.
He said, “Interpol states that gangs which traffic illegal drugs, weapons and peoples are also behind the illicit trade in tobacco trade and alcohol. According to the (US) Department of Justice, some of these groups have ties as well to terrorist organisations.”
