Legal Dispute Arises Between FAS and Egor Creed Regarding a Whiskey Container
The Federal Antimony Office in St. Pete's is probing Egor Kreed and Toxic (Andrei Smelyansky) for potential advertising violations. According to their press service, the lads have been caught displaying whiskey in one of their collaborative music videos, but the track in question remains a mystery.
The case has been filed under several sections of the Advertising Law, including violations of part 6 of article 5, point 6 of part 1, point 8 of part 2, and part 3 of article 21, involving the musicians, the whiskey company, and 'V Kontakte'.
You might be wondering which song's video caused all this ruckus. Well, as of now, it's a hornswoggle. The FAS received a complaint about a social media video that showed whiskey—if that's what it was—and, well, if it was an ad, our boys would've flouted the ban on internet alcohol marketing (point 8, part 2, article 21). They also couldn't use human images for the ad (point 6, part 1, article 21).
Moreover, the FAS peeps spotted that the video lacked an ad disclaimer (part 16, article 18.1) and a warning about alcohol's perils (part 3, article 21). But the video was loaded with expletives, which could also get them in trouble under the Advertising Law (part 6, article 5).
If found guilty, these beleaguered artists could face fines. While authentic info might be hard to come by from the FAS or reliable news sources, you can always venture into the depths of the interwebs for more juicy details. Just remember to take everything you find with a grain of salt, mate.
The investigation by the Federal Antimony Office in St. Pete's expands beyond Egor Kreed and Toxic's suspected advertising violations, seemingly involving the entertainment industry and finance, as a whiskey brand may also be implicated due to an unidentified music video. If found guilty, potential fines not only pertain to the musicians but also the industry stakeholders and social media platform 'V Kontakte', owing to alleged violations of various Advertising Law sections, including the use of human images for ads (point 6, part 1, article 21) and ban on internet alcohol marketing (point 8, part 2, article 21).
