Cessation of illegal tobacco trade
Officers of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine (BEB) have completed an operation to dismantle a network of illegal retail outlets in Kyiv region. Thanks to the measures taken, the activities of five kiosks located in Obukhiv and Brovary districts were halted, where tobacco products lacking proper excise stamps were being sold.
Search results
During the investigative actions, detectives confiscated a significant amount of goods. In total, over 7,000 packs of cigarettes were seized, which proved to be counterfeit. The total market value of the seized goods exceeded 1 million hryvnia.
In addition to the goods themselves, law enforcement officers secured the seizure of the evidentiary base: documents recording illegal financial activities (so-called black accounting), as well as video surveillance footage that may help identify all participants in the scheme.
