“180 HMRC officers have been deployed across the UK and France today. Investigators have searched a number of premises in the North East and South East of England and arrested the men and also seized business records, financial records, computers and mobile phones."
It adds: “The French authorities are assisting the UK investigation, have made arrests and several locations have been searched in France.
