NAS seizes liquor factory and 6 tons of expired food in Salerno

A liquor factory and 6 tons of expired and untraceable food were kidnapped from the Carabinieri of the NAS of Salerno in the Agro nocerino-sarnese. The military, assisted by personnel from the Prevention Department of the ASL of Salerno, inspected a food warehouse and proceeded to the administrative seizure of approximately 1,7 tons of food products without traceability indications and to the immediate destruction of 4 tons of various types of food products (including pasta, cured meats, cheeses, meat products, preserves) whose validity had expired, some even by more than a year.

The entire warehouse, which extends over a surface of approximately 600 square meters, in agreement with the Prevention Department of the ASL of Salerno has been subjected to "closure ad horas" due to serious hygienic-sanitary and structural deficiencies, including the flooring soaked in dirt, the presence of cobwebs and mold on the walls, the absence of toilets and changing rooms. 540 liters of beverages, presumably alcoholic, contained in bottles without labels, have also been subjected to a sanitary block, which will be subjected to the necessary checks to establish their exact content and healthiness.

The elements acquired during the inspection allowed the NAS Carabinieri to trace the production activity of the drinks, which took place in a warehouse located in the Irno Valley, which was checked together with personnel from the Customs and Monopolies Agency of Salerno, where approximately 400 state stamps for the certification of alcoholic products were seized, 50 bottles containing liqueurs, kegs and cans containing presumably alcoholic substances (estimated at 80 litres), numerous jars containing liqueur baba and equipment for the production and packaging of the products, such as empty bottles and labels).

The entire facility was subjected to preventive seizure, as, from the elements collected, it is believed that the activity, registered as a wholesale warehouse, produces, without the necessary requirements, alcoholic beverages, evading the payment of excise duties. The overall value of the measures adopted is estimated at 1 million and 250 thousand euros, of which 400 thousand refer to food and 20 thousand to alcoholic substances. Administrative sanctions for an amount equal to 1.500 euros were contested.
