Customs officials in the Most region of North West Bohemia have
uncovered a stock of illegally produced alcoholic spirits during an
inspection of three locations around the area. A production line of
around 8,500 litres of barrelled spirits and over 11,500 unlicensed
bottles of liquor worth around 3 million crowns (more than 130,000
dollars) were discovered, a Customs Department spokesman revealed. Two
suspects were also detained during the operation, and, if convicted,
could face up to 12 years in prison. An investigation is now underway.
