Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) and Criminal Investigation Department (CID) invade Premier Tobacco Co. site, confiscate all office materials, demand payment of 6 billion RWF (more than 7 million USD) in tax penalties, and order closing of factory. No evidence to support those claims is brought forward.

Company bank accounts are seized and all of PTC money is transferred to the central bank.

RRA and CID place their own guards on PTC site.
