Court held that damages for customs duties constitute economic benefit and must be included in the fine calculation.

The Supreme Court ruled that damages payable to the Customs Administration for import duties must be counted as economic benefit when calculating fines for smuggling. The defendant argued for a reduced penalty based on the alcohol's market value alone, but the court rejected this distinction. Consequently, the court determined that the total financial gain, including statutory damages, defines the scope of the economic benefit subject to the fine.
