Description
Dirty Tobacco: Spies, Lies and Mega-Profits by Telita Snyckers is a non-fiction exposé of the tobacco industry and cigarette smuggling, examining the hidden networks and financial interests behind the illegal tobacco trade.
Drawing on her experience as a former SARS lawyer, Snyckers investigates allegations that major tobacco companies have been involved in or enabled cigarette smuggling, exploring why companies might benefit from the illegal trafficking of their own products and how these operations were carried out.
The book examines the connections between big business, organised crime, corruption, tax evasion and illicit trade, revealing a side of the tobacco industry that is rarely visible to consumers.
A good choice for readers interested in true crime, investigative journalism, South African affairs, organised crime, corporate corruption and the tobacco industry.
