For alcohol to teenagers will plant

For the sale of alcohol to young people will be deprived of licenses and jailed. Deputies of the State Duma Dmitry Medvedev supported the proposal to toughen measures for the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors.

Recall that at the moment the criminal liability for the sale of alcohol to teenagers suggests corrective labor for a term of one year. Such "soft law" does not stop the offense of dishonest merchants - alcohol teenagers still sold. Now, as it became known, with the offenders will take not a child: Dmitry Medvedev took the initiative to toughen the penalties for the offense. For the sale of alcohol to minors Adamkus proposed to deprive traders licenses and put them in jail.

According to the head of the subcommittee on excisable goods Zvagel'skii Victor, the new law will significantly influence the retail chains, previously often committed similar offenses. The worst thing for traders is not a penalty or even criminal liability, and, first of all - deprivation of the license. With the introduction of innovations owners of retail chains will become more closely monitor the actions of their vendors. Withdrawal of license and jail are capable of the best traders sober than the constant invocation of moral responsibility, the MP said.

Well, the experience of the criminal liability for the same offense is already available in other countries. For example, in the United Arab Emirates dealer for the sale of alcohol to minors face astronomical term prison and public blasphemy. However, in the United Arab Emirates with alcohol has always been strict. If a citizen of the country will be on the street in a drunken state, it can not easily cater to the police station, and once in prison. The presumption of innocence does not apply in the country. If the police decide that you're drunk and disruptive, you will find yourself in jail custody order and prove otherwise useless. We should also recall the recent show trial in China. Drunk drivers jury sentenced not as much, and the death penalty by firing squad.
