The information was confirmed: 2,123-liter bottles of Moskovskaya and Stolichnaya vodka were found in the warehouse. The vodka did not have stamps and the owner of the cargo did not have any documents to buy alcohol. According to a Vilnius resident, he bought vodka from strangers for celebrations, reports the Criminal Customs Service.
It is suspected that the seized intoxicants (their value is about 62 thousand euros) may be counterfeit or illegally imported into Lithuania. They are currently being examined by a customs laboratory. MKT officials have launched a pre-trial investigation into the illegal disposal of excise goods, led by Vilnius regional prosecutors. The preventive measure for the offender is a written commitment not to leave.
MKT officials often stop large shipments of illicit alcohol at the end of the year. In November and December, attempts to import counterfeit alcoholic beverages or the raw materials necessary for the production of such beverages in Lithuania intensified.
