600 liters of alcoholic products were seized in one of Irkutsk's pavilions

In Irkutsk, police stopped illegal alcohol sales in a store in the Leninsky district. The seller had no license, and the owner had already violated the law. Nearly 600 liters of cognac, vodka and beer products were seized, and the case materials will soon be sent to court. The article also notes that beer over 5 degrees requires a license, so such sales carry a large fine.

The day before, in Irkutsk, officers of the Department for the Organization of the Application of Administrative Legislation of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Irkutsk Region stopped the illegal sale of alcoholic products. The police received a report that alcoholic beverages were being sold illegally at a retail outlet located in one of the grocery stores in the Leninsky District.
During the inspection of this information, the police confirmed that the kiosk seller did not have a license to sell alcoholic products, including beer. It turned out that the shop owner had repeatedly violated federal law. This time, the police seized nearly 600 liters of cognac-vodka and beer products from him.
- Such violations not only harm the state in the form of unpaid taxes, but also allow unfair competition with other conscientious entrepreneurs - taxpayers, - says Anatoly Mikheev, head of the OOPAZ of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Irkutsk Region.
An administrative offense report has been drawn up. The inspection materials will be sent to court shortly. The unscrupulous businessman faces a hefty fine. It is possible that the products seized from him will be sent for processing.
The police remind that amendments to the federal law came into force on July 1, 2012, according to which beer products with an alcohol content above 5 degrees are recognized as alcoholic products and are subject to licensing, that is, the appropriate permit is required for their sale.
