Rugelis, on Well Hall Road in Eltham, has been fined after test purchasers were able to buy the illegal cigarettes on multiple occasions over three years.
The cigarettes were illegal due to not being in plain packaging and not having the correct health warnings in English.
Councillor Rachel Taggart-Ryan, cabinet member for community safety and enforcement at the Royal Borough of Greenwich, said: “This is another great result for the council, highlighting our zero-tolerance approach to the sale of counterfeit products.
“These products had the potential to damage customer’s health and it’s unacceptable that they were for sale.
“Mr Bagdonas not only received a hefty fine, but will also need to take part in activities to make him aware of the consequences of his actions, ensuring he won’t re-offend.”
On another occasion, Trading Standards Officers and a police detection dog found and seized 344 packets of illegal cigarettes and 317 prescription only medicines.
The items were hidden in a filing cabinet in the back office.
Mantas Bagdonas, the owner of the shop, told officers the cigarettes were for personal use by himself and his staff, and claimed he did not intend to sell them.
He also said he was unaware of the legal consequences of possessing such goods on his premises.
Mr Bagdonas later pled guilty, apologised, and was handed a 12-month community order.
This includes a 15 day rehabilitation activity requirement – meaning he will need to meet with probation and take part in activities to make him aware of his offending.
He was also issued costs and fines totalling £17,778. The business itself was ordered to pay an additional £14,778 in costs and fines, bringing the total penalty to £32,556.
Another batch of cigarettes were confirmed as counterfeit by their trademark holder British American Tobacco.
The council is urging members of the public to help tackle illegal tobacco sales by contacting its trading standards team with information or reports.
