The suspected crime of illegal tobacco business is the crime of illegal tobacco business, because tobacco is a product controlled by the state and needs to be operated with a license. Therefore, in the stage of public security reconnaissance, the arrest period is two months, and after the reconnaissance, the public security organ will hand it over to the procuratorate for examination and prosecution. The procuratorate can decide to arrest again at the stage of examination and prosecution, and the period is also two months. If the procuratorate decides to initiate a public prosecution after examination, the criminal suspect will be tried in accordance with the current relevant procedural law after the court files the case. If the facts are conclusive and the evidence is sufficient, the suspect will be convicted and sentenced. Therefore, there is no mandatory provision in the law of our country on how long a criminal who illegally deals in tobacco can be sentenced and put in prison after being arrested, which can be determined according to the time when the public security organ, procuratorate and court handle the case.
