The Government has noted suggestions that Spanish television channel Antena 3 has been staging tobacco smuggling scenes.

They insist that it is appropriate to warn the public on the matter, given the ‘rabid and un-objective coverage presently being afforded to Gibraltar and the issue of tobacco smuggling in the Spanish media generally’.

The matter was picked up on social media, where photographic evidence has been provided. Just this morning, Spanish television news outlets directed their attention to the frontier once more.
