"When ten such points are revealed, we lose 600,000 roubles," he said at the action meeting in the Penza region government on Monday, December 25.

The head of the region explained that the license for sale of alcohol costs about 60,000 roubles, that is why it is easy to calculate how much money the region does not receive due to unfair entrepreneurs and poorly organized work on fight against turnover of illegal alcohol and that without license.

Ivan Belozertsev added that based on these considerations, it is possible to think about giving bonuses to the regions that are the most successful in the fight against illegal trade in alcohol.
