Canadian authorities arrested a NASCAR driver, who last year became the the first Native American to start a Sprint Cup race, and charged him as a chief operative in a tobacco-smuggling and drug-running operation.
Forty-five-year-old Derek White, a member
of the Mohawk Indian Tribe who boasts 22 starts in the NASCAR XFINITY
Series, faces seven charges, including three counts each of conspiracy
and fraud against the government, and one count of profiteering as a
criminal organization.
Bloomberg News reported
that “White is listed as one of the top-ranking members of the
smuggling operation, according to a chart provided by police.” A
spokesman for the Quebec provincial police, said that the smuggling ring
bought shipments of tobacco leaf in North Carolina, routed them to the
northern border and resold them in Canada.
