Co Armagh Tax Evasion Bust | Ireland News

Two men, Philip Sherry and John Hegarty, are facing serious tax evasion charges after police uncovered a massive cigarette smuggling operation in Co Armagh. Authorities seized 190,000 cigarettes per van — valued at £230,000 in unpaid UK duty — plus £50,000 in cash. A separate property search revealed over a million more cigarettes worth £616,000 in dodged taxes, pointing to a larger all-Ireland criminal network. Both men, granted bail with strict conditions including passport surrender and police reporting, will appear in court again on September 8th as officials scramble to recover lost revenue.
