The Lithuanian Customs Service has issued a press release regarding a fine of €13,618,175 imposed on a company.
The company had exported vehicles to Russia through third countries Belarus, Kazakhstan and Turkey.
Six tractor semi-trailers were also confiscated.
Although the Customs press release does not name the company, press reports have identified the company as Biovarda based in Vilnius.
The press release also states, opaquely, that “After the Lithuanian customs started to apply stricter inspection measures, it is not the first time that such sanctions have been applied to companies for violations of the Law on International Sanctions”. No ore detail on these other enforcements was provided.
