Cong Ton Tran, 57, is charged with six counts involving unstamped tobacco products in 2018 and 2019.
A man charged in connection with a contraband cigarette case has had his trial adjourned while his new lawyer comes up to speed on the case, a Vancouver Provincial Court judge heard July 4.
It’s illegal to possess, sell or have possession of tobacco in excess of one kilogram that does not bear the prescribed mark or stamp and/or to transport in excess of 50 cartons of cigarettes unless that person has the required authorization to do so. Harris heard a trial could take eight days and that a new pre-trial conference would be needed with a new lawyer on board.
There, Dhillon said the ministry began an investigation into the importation and distribution of illegal tobacco products in Metro Vancouver after a tip from Ontario Provincial Police that large quantities of illegal tobacco products were being shipped from Ontario to British Columbia.
