English translation of the principle

The court's amendment of the characterization of the charge from importing alcoholic beverages with intent to trade to possession with intent to trade, and its order that execution of the imprisonment sentence imposed for this offense overlap with execution of the imprisonment sentence imposed for the offenses of possessing two firearms and ammunition without a license. The contention that the elements of the offense of importing alcoholic beverages with intent to trade are absent. Ineffectual.
