Shop boss running illegal £1m tobacco operation ordered to pay £87k and sell BMW The shop was described as a 'very busy and successful' cash-based business which was being run 'primarily for the purposes of selling illicit tobacco' Swansea Crown Court heard the Groszek store in Llanelli town centre was run 'primarily for the purposes of selling illicit tobacco' (Image: Google ) One of the bosses of a shop used in a £1m counterfeit tobacco operation has been ordered to pay back tens of thousands of pounds and to sell a BMW vehicle.
