Alcohol Fraud

About this episode

A criminal gang was recently jailed for one of the biggest ever alcohol smuggling rackets in the UK.

But these are highly complex frauds, which take years to investigate. Allan Urry examines the scale of the challenge facing the authorities, and reveals the extent to which criminals have penetrated the legitimate market in beer, wine and spirits Presenter: Allan Urry Producer: Paul Grant.
