Tarcisio explained that, since the factories must issue an invoice, from the moment they have the suspension of the state registration, they will not be able to operate.
“The idea is to give everyone a message that we will not tolerate this illegal trade,” said the governor during a press conference in the next afternoon at Palazzo Bandeirans.
“From the moment we realize that there is a drink without tests of origin, which is the merchant who has the risk of buying something without the invoice, is making it available for the citizen, is irresponsible. It is helping the crime of falsification. We cannot afford it. And the way to prohibit this, which is effective, is the suspension of the registration,” he added.
According to the governor, the suspension is preventive. But if the factories do not demonstrate the origin of their products, they could certainly lose registration.
In addition to these plants, 11 others, among the bars, the cellars and the distributors of drinks, have been buried with caution.
“We worked on the intersection of the invoices. We start from the end of the chain, that is, from the bar, where we saw that there was contamination, cross the invoice to see where the source of the drink was, which was the distributor sold. We hit the distributor, we make the inspection. And these were the closed plants, where we saw the problem. Load. Tarcisio.
