According to a report by the Russian media outlet Kommersant, the news office of the Tatarstan region in Russia has stated that local law enforcement authorities have confiscated over 4,000 packs of counterfeit cigarettes and over 1,800 liters of alcohol during their operation.
Law enforcement agencies have taken down a small retail store network primarily involved in selling alcohol products and suspected counterfeit cigarettes. They have also discovered a warehouse used for storing these goods, as well as the transportation agents. The transport agent was apprehended in Kazan with 100 crates in their vehicle, each crate containing 5,000 bottles of 100 milliliters, amounting to a total of 500 liters of products. Additionally, the authorities found that the gang's warehouse held 1,300 liters of alcohol and 409 packs of counterfeit cigarettes.
According to preliminary investigations, the buyer and two other suspects were planning to sell these goods in stores in Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod. Their actions violate Article 171.1 and Article 171.3 of the Russian Criminal Code. Currently, the seized products have been sent to experts for identification, and a legal decision will be made based on the examination results.
