'There's nothing we've done that is illegal'

'There's nothing we've done that is illegal': "first and only raid on one of Kahnawake's burgeoning number of cigarette factories, most of which are fiercely defended by the community.
What made the facility different -- and convinced Kahnawake band leaders to sanction the bust -- is that police alleged its owners were working closely with the Hells Angels, their cheap, tax-free cigarettes being pedalled on the streets of Montreal along with the outlaw bike gang's crack cocaine.
It seems like the clearest case yet of the kind of ties between organized crime and contraband tobacco that police repeatedly argue are widespread."
