LA SPEZIA – They used hookahs without authorization in their restaurants, allowing their customers to use them. This was discovered by the men of the Guardia di Finanza Group of La Spezia and the officials of the Adm Monopolies Office for Liguria – La Spezia Section who 12 kg of hookah molasses imported smuggled and without the required state seal seized.
Administrative sanctions were imposed on each of the managers of the commercial activities, the amount of which varies from 5 thousand to 50 thousand euros. The places to be checked were also selected through a targeted analysis of websites and social pages on which this particular type of service was advertised in addition to the traditional drinks typical of bars or restaurants.
The consumption of molasses to be smoked via hookah is increasingly requested by customers of all ages and with a rapidly growing trend in our country too. The legislation in force requires that traders must obtain the required authorizations (“special licence”, authorization issued by the Customs and Monopolies Agency) otherwise they risk heavy fines and, in some cases, even being reported for smuggling.
