Transported illegal cigarettes to an international checkpoint: a Lviv region resident will stand trial
In the Lviv region, the transport of a consignment of tobacco products without excise tax stamps to an international checkpoint was uncovered. Detectives of the Territorial Department of the State Bureau of Economic Security (BES) in the Lviv region have sent an indictment to court against a man who transported illegal cigarettes for subsequent sale.
The investigation established that the suspect illegally purchased a consignment of cigarettes without excise tax stamps in Lviv. He loaded the products into a vehicle and was transporting them toward Ukraine’s state border, planning to sell them near one of the international checkpoints.
BES detectives stopped the illegal movement of the excisable goods and seized the entire consignment of cigarettes.
The man is charged under part 1 of article 204 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (illegal acquisition, storage, and transportation of excisable goods with intent to sell).
Prosecutors of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office are overseeing the criminal proceedings. Operational support was provided by the Lviv Customs Service.
