Arrested for selling expired Spanish ale
Print Edition
A wine dealer has been arrested after about 40,000 boxes of expired Spanish beer were discovered in a Pudong warehouse he had rented to store them.
Shanghai police said yesterday that the market value of the beer exceeded 3 million yuan (US$440,000), but no expired beer had been sold to the public.
Police in Jiading District started investigation at the end of the last month when a wine dealer complained that the bottles of Mahou beer he had bought for 1 million yuan from the suspect had fake labels covering up the original date of production, according to which the beer had already expired.
The beer dated back to 2012, but on the fake labels the date was reprinted as 2016. Police said a beer’s expiry date is 180 days after its production date.
The suspect, surnamed Xi, allegedly admitted he had sold expired beer to make a bigger profit.
