In this case, the Gin Palace has been found carrying restricted goods. Those being Gate/Lane parts. According to the law, as cited below,* any and all transports not affiliated with Ageira or Deep Space Engineering are subject to a fine of 500,000 credits. Unless the ship's owner can provide sufficient evidence that proves he was working for either Ageira or Deep Space Engineering, he is guilty of violating a Corporate Crime.
The fact that neither Ageira or Deep Space Engineering has stepped forward in your defense, and that you have not been able to provide a name of someone inside either corporation that can vouch for any transportation deals that may exist, provides us with ample reason and justification in the arrest and/or penalizing of the Gin Palace.
As previously stated; The LPI does not dictate Libertonian Law. That is the job of our government. Our job is to uphold their decisions to the best of our ability. We may question it, we may disagree with it, but what we do not do is disobey it. Our orders are to stop all transports heading to/from Rheinland and to turn them back the way they came. Interspace is no exception to this. If you wish to go there and come back, you need to persuade the government to authorize Interspace. If you wish to carry Gate/Lane Parts, you must discuss a deal with Ageira and gain authorization to transport Gate/Lane parts.
Once you have said authorization, the Police will not try to restrict any Gate/Lane transports flying your colors. However, the fine Gin Palace owes will not be refunded unless Ageira informs us that a transportation agreement already exists between them and Interspace. Even if you were to make a deal at this moment, the Gin Palace is still be required to pay his fine, for his actions were still illegal at the time of the incident.

*Corporate Crimes
Violation of Trade Secrets; Defined as the violation of the implicit confidential and lawful trade practices of a commercial entity. Most commonly applied to non-Ageira or non-DSE holders of Gate/Lane parts. Penalty is 500,000 credits.
