German Customs Seizes 4600 Liters of Illegal E-Cigarette Liquid
According to reports from German media on September 3rd, German authorities discovered 4,600 liters of illicit e-cigarette liquid and some e-cigarette devices during a raid at a company in the Hanover region.
The operators of the company are facing charges of illegal manufacturing of nicotine products, in violation of tobacco tax laws. Additionally, they are accused of evading taxes amounting to 736,000 euros.
According to a report by NDR, the company in question is the operator of the online shop "Dark Burner". NDR approached customs for information on the matter, but customs refused to confirm the identity of the person being searched, citing tax confidentiality reasons. Meanwhile, the manufacturer "Dark Burner" has put its internet platform into "maintenance mode" and is no longer accepting orders from suppliers. When NDR contacted suppliers, they attempted to reach their lawyer but were unsuccessful in reaching them.
