Illicit trade of tobacco and cigarettes is a serious issue affecting all Canadians, and we’re calling on the government to act. Contraband tobacco is unchecked, unsafe, and unacceptable. It is controlled by, and directly funds organized crime, including gun and drug trafficking, while increasing the risk of youth access to cigarettes.

The illicit tobacco trade undermines honest and hardworking businesses, causes harm to our local communities, funds other organised crime and costs the UK around £2.8 billion a year. Today, HMRC and Border Force have published their new Illicit Tobacco Strategy – building on previous strategies, setting out our approach to reducing the demand and continuing to tackle and disrupt organised crime groups behind the illicit tobacco trade. This new strategy is supported by more than £100 million of new funding over five years and will also establish a new multi-agency illicit tobacco taskforce – and forms part of the UK government’s ambition for a Smokefree Generation.

For those working on illicit financial flows associated with tax and trade practices, this framework can be extremely useful 💸🌎🌍🌏
Every year organized crime and trade in illegal goods (such as drug trafficking or trafficking in firearms) and illegal or illicit tax and commercial practices generate billions of dollars in illicit flows. Proceeds of crime may be channeled abroad, often to safe havens. The world needs comparable and reliable statistics on illicit financial flows to shed light on the activities, sectors and channels most prone to illicit finance, pointing to where actions should be undertaken as a priority to curb these flows. Find out more on this technical paper developed by UNCTAD and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in consultation with an International Task Force on the Statistical Measurement of Illicit Financial Flows and other partners. bit.ly/3S7uf9u
