In Gus-Khrustalny, fines were imposed on managers for the turnover of more than 8 tons of unmarked tobacco

Gus-Crystal City Court sentenced in a criminal case on illegal trafficking of tobacco products. Two local residents - the general and executive directors of a commercial organization - were found guilty under Part 6 of Art. 171.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

From January 2023 to April 2024, the defendants stored more than 8 tons of tobacco products unmarked with excise stamps of the Russian Federation for sale. The cost of illegal goods exceeded 98 million rubles.

The defendants fully admitted guilt. Taking into account mitigating circumstances, including the provision of charitable assistance to the orphanage and participants of the SVO, the court imposed a fine of 400,000 rubles for each head. The sentence has not entered into force.
