A man in Yaroslavl, Russia convicted of selling illegal tobacco products worth over 13 million rubles.

According to Lenta, the court in Klintsovsky city of Bryansk Oblast, Russia, has sentenced a resident of Yaroslavl for selling illegal tobacco products worth over 13 million rubles.

 

According to the department, in August 2018, a resident of Yaroslavl transported 180,500 packs of unmarked tobacco products from Belarus, with a total value of at least 13.6 million rubles.
