澳大利亚启动190万澳元工作队, 打击由高税助长的非法烟草贸易。 Australia launches $190M taskforce to crack down on illegal tobacco trade fueled by high taxes.

澳大利亚成立了全国非法烟草破坏小组,以打击因税收急剧增加而加剧的非法烟草贸易激增的现象。 Australia has launched the Illicit Tobacco National Disruption Group to combat a surge in illegal tobacco trade fueled by steep tax increases. 该工作队由澳大利亚边防部队领导,包括联邦、州和地区警察以及AUSTRAC和ATO等关键机构,旨在捣毁参与走私、分销和销售的犯罪网络。 Led by the Australian Border Force and including federal, state, and territory police and key agencies like AUSTRAC and the ATO, the taskforce aims to dismantle criminal networks involved in smuggling, distribution, and sales. 以近1.9亿美元为后盾,它将针对整个供应链——从边境前活动到资金流动——的中层罪犯,并处理与贩毒和纵火等更广泛的犯罪的联系。 Backed by nearly $190 million, it will target mid-level offenders across the entire supply chain—from pre-border activities to financial flows—and address links to broader crimes like drug trafficking and arson. 当局警告说,从非法烟草中获利的任何人将面临执法行动。 Authorities are warning that anyone profiting from illicit tobacco will face enforcement action.
