Glasgow Tobacco Smuggler Gets 8-Year Ban | Glasgow News

A Glasgow businessman named Fazle Masum pulled off a brazen smuggling scheme, hiding raw tobacco in vacuum-sealed tins inside furniture shipments—only to get caught by Border Force in January 2022. His unlicensed company, Unique Enterprise Ltd, faced a £152,980 HMRC fine and collapsed under £175,000 in debts.
