New York
NEW York City has sued FedEx Corp, accusing it of illegally delivering millions of contraband cigarettes to people's homes and seeking US$52 million in fines and unpaid taxes.
The lawsuit, filed in US District Court in Manhattan, marks one of the last acts by the administration of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose more than decade-old campaign to ban smoking in various public and private places has been credited with saving thousands of lives and become a blueprint for other cities.
