Police in northwest China's Gansu Province have arrested 25 suspects in connection with the illegal cross-border purchase and sale of tobacco, in a case worth about ¥210 million (about $33 mln).
This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.
After receiving a tip-off in early October that a gang had purchased tobacco abroad and sold it across the country illegally, police in the city of Lanzhou, capital of Gansu, dispatched a task force to investigate the case.
According to the police, the gang has sold the tobacco to over 20 provinces, regions and cities.
A further investigation of the case is underway.
