Nevyansk artel team of "Neiva" received an impressive fine for uncontrolled transactions with gold. This was reported by the regional court press service.

The case of an administrative offense against miners was initiated by a Nevyansky prosecutor on November 2, 2017, as the artel did not comply with the requirements of the legislation on combating the legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime and financing of terrorism.

Under the law, transactions for the purchase and sale of precious metals should be carried out under the supervision of Rosfinmonitoring. However, the artel did not even have a private office on the agency's website. In addition, prospectors did not develop internal control rules, did not appoint a special official who met the qualification requirements, responsible for the implementation of the rules, did not organize training of employees in this field. From 2014 to 2016, prospectors sold gold to the banks "Otkrytie", "AK Bars" and "Sberbank", the amount of transactions exceeded 600 thousand rubles, but the information on transactions was not sent to the controlling body.

For this offense the Nevyansk City Court appointed a legal entity a fine in the amount of 200 thousand rubles.

The followers filed a complaint with the Sverdlovsk Regional Court, but without success. The court did not begin to change the decision of colleagues from the lower instance.

Recall, prospectors have problems with the prosecutor's office and because of the land plot of agricultural significance, on which they dug a quarry and extracted gold.
