- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCMA299/2020
Given the total seizures of 22,000 untaxed cigarettes, the applicant’s admitted role in storage and distribution and a significant record of 13 prior convictions including many similar offences (and a recent sentence shortly before the present offending), the sentencing judge did not err in principle nor impose a manifestly excessive sentence; the concurrent 2‑month imprisonment is appropriate and is therefore upheld.
- Handling of dutiable goods
- Unlawful possession and distribution of untaxed cigarettes
- Recidivism in sentencing
- Concurrent sentencing
