Bring it on, says defiant BATSA to calls for probe into illicit tobacco trade

But on Monday BATSA responded by pointing fingers right back at FITA and SATO.
In a statement, FITA said it would welcome an inquiry, adding that this was likely the best mechanism to find the real traders of illegal cigarettes. The tobacco giant said cigarette brands of FITA and SATO members, including Remington Gold, were, by far, "the most likely to be found on sale illegally in the country", since the lockdown paved a way for criminal cartels to ruthlessly exploit the country’s tobacco sales ban.
"The FITA/SATO coalition say they want an investigation. So, let’s have one," said BATSA General Manager Johnny Moloto in a statement.
