Estonia navy chief resigns over alcohol and cigarettes smuggling scandal

‘The Estonian navy’s commander has resigned after a warship engaged in active NATO operations was found to be smuggling alcohol and cigarettes in the Baltic Sea.
On Wednesday, Sten Sepper announced that he was taking full responsibility for the 56 crates of undeclared cigarettes and 1,000 liters of liquor that were discovered on the Sakala minesweeper earlier in the month.
