The woman, who assumed administrative responsibility, did not plead guilty at the court hearing and explained that she had these cigarettes for a long time, brought to her by friends, some of which she bought herself. He considered that all the cigarettes had been bought in violation of the law and therefore requested their removal.

In imposing the administrative penalty, the court took into account that Ms. Andrejeva had committed an administrative offense, had no data on her previous administrative offenses, a mitigating circumstance, and no aggravating circumstance, and concluded that the objectives of the administrative penalty would be achieved through the imposition of a minimum sanction, the expected fine – 400 euros together with the administrative sanction measure – confiscation of 61 packs of cigarettes of different names.
