Taranto, bar sells alcohol to minors: closed for 7 days.

During the targeted control services of public places, the Administrative Team of the Administrative Police Division notified the suspension for 7 days of the license for the supply of food and drinks for a bar located in the central Corso Umberto. Furthermore, the same bar, already last March, had been sanctioned for violating the legislation on the sale of alcohol to minors.

Alcohol to minors

During the specific checks, the staff of the Administrative and Social Police Division had the opportunity to record a notable coming and going of young people, apparently minors, who, almost furtively, purchased drinks inside the bar and then walked away completely. rush.

Furthermore, those same young people, perhaps in order not to hinder the activity of the bar, sat on the pavement of Corso Umberto to Taranto to consume drinks, often creating an obstacle to the transit of scheduled buses on the preferential lane of that street as well as to possible emergency vehicles or police forces. Thus, late in the evening, the police were able to notice a group of boys (some minors) inside the club who were being served bottled drinks, probably of an alcoholic substance.

Their intervention gave definitive confirmation of what they suspected, surprising the boy with the beer bottle in his hands. From the checks carried out also by the Flying Squad, the place appears frequented by people burdened by criminal prejudices and police records, making an incisive and determined intervention even more necessary such as the adoption of the police suspension provision pursuant to art. 100 TULPS. The legal positions of the owner of the establishment and the bartender as alleged perpetrators of the crime of supplying alcoholic beverages to minors are being examined.
