Moonshine operation busted in Norway

Post by rubelstrudel »

A moonshine operation was busted by a police raid in Verdal, Norway on March 6. 2018. Trial ended recently with a 2 month prison sentence and a eqv. 10k USD fine.
Verdal is in an area famous for its moonshining traditions. Convicted operator claims to only produce for his own consumption. The repeated payments to his bankaccount of about eqv. 100USD each was "gifts from friends" he claims. Court finds the explanation "not trustworthy".

This looks suspiciously like the still busted in 2014, just not so banged up.
Maybe the police should check their evidence locker.

Always impatient. But learning.
