Australian authorities conducted nationwide raids on Metro Fuel, Australia's biggest independent service station network, with over 100 sites suspected of involvement in the illicit tobacco trade. Coordinated operations across five states and the ACT involved hundreds of officers from the Australian Border Force and Australian Federal Police, resulting in mandatory 90-day closures for at least four Sydney locations. Anyone caught selling illegal tobacco in New South Wales faces up to seven years in jail and fines of up to $1.5 million.
