FINED £15,000
Notorious Tobacco Smuggler
(Rec. June 26, 5.5 p.m.)
London, June 25.
A notorious tobacco smuggler, Louis Lesser, who, in 1930, was fined £5740, has now been fined £15,000 or six months’ imprisonment, for smuggling another ton, secreted in an old submarine chaser.
Lesser smiled and winked when the magistrate remarked: “You probably know the limit of my jurisdiction.”
