a legitimate one. i can make. it follows every quality standard in the book and turns out of my range of goods. as the word all is well set. directly from the producer. but it's expensive. illegal vendors prefer to get free and substandard goods from. the over. that are cheaper and that's only natural because the raw materials they are made of mostly come from russian junk yards. they take it over the country for free. and bring back. the bodies that.

someone put in thirty small and midsize manufacturers are engaged in making children based on the products of the philatelic each other was dominated by goods from china the chinese produce a seventy percent. match a percentage of these unevenly produced imported. from any product quality depends on the materials used to make it. from specialized few and far between in russia this granulated plastic is absolutely harmless but it's pricey so-called second. nothing and that's exactly. where throughput have been previously fallen earliest. canisters disposable tableware. all that material is sure to contain some

harmful sop. whatever you like gasoline or even remnants of drugs a case in point is disposable syringe of the us but it's no one knows what was inside a syringe. it's harmful but it's cheap to make stuff from it and you have cheap toys. let's play. along with a large batch of other products for children this toy was confiscated by the siberian operational customs house a businessman from the city of novosibirsk imported a wide range of toys valued at over ten thousand u.s. dollars from china into russia as he crossed the border he provided in i.q. and data about his cargo concealing a considerable amount of merchandise among the goods with toys for told as an inference the customs service brought the businessman up on charges of smuggling upon further investigation questions arose about the quality of the goods he was smuggling an expert confirmed that the smuggled toys were not cheap fakes but also

hazardous to the house of the children for whom they were intended. to give the toys weapons don't conform to standards. i mean they're more powerful than the law we're going to rattle the babies failed to meet smell stuff and children's pianos don't meet regulations and sound like many toys have jagged edges all splinters and unacceptable. to posses counterfeit goods off as legal the businessman tried a well known scheme a contract for a small batch of certified quality toys is signed with an official dealing directly with the produce. next to the bulk of the merchandise consisting of cheap fakes is purchased on the black market.

usually the counterfeit drugs have been in a normal batch and in this case the russia health inspector it publishes details on its website to help people. in russia. are exposed to intense scrutiny. specialists.

what's new in five hundred thousand international units of the federal suppose a tree absolutely different rappers most likely fake even the external features a different. only the externals the shape of the packaging is totally different. finalize these and send the information. the count of the drug must be sent to the pharmaceutical oversight division of the russian health inspector and within twenty four hours. a whole batch is banned from sale if the authenticity of a single package is called into question. cheap counterfeit drugs are turned out by the thousands. to thank them harmless chemical ingredients are mixed with the intended pharmaceutical compounds. as a result five diluted tablets can be made instead of

a single pill they usually contain just a fraction of what's needed to treat the ailment they're intended for. so what does it mean if the pharmaceutical content of the patient is this time. the first and takes a drug in hopes for a cure but none of the time is lost in the illness make progress that's what's needed. this is the climax of a special operation. police officers posing as a purchased thirty thousand. illegal business owner was counting the money.

absolutely indistinguishable from the original. numbers. and packets and packaging machine worked at the touch of. a constant stream. supposed to be a powerful drug they used. and even some artificial. the merchandise was then sold under the same name as the original product. is the seal of the swiss company nobody. there are a real pharmaceutical company but this is a fake. because the head of the crime was the director of a st petersburg based pharmaceutical company at the illegal company that sold regular drugs maybe the director wasn't satisfied with his legal profit going to make more money on counterfeit goods he set up

a retail network in various russian cities where he had to fake drugs delivered all the but then it got to the. according to statistics the number of falsified pharmaceuticals in circulation has increased since two thousand and five think medicine for heart disease for gastrointestinal problems fake antibiotics and anesthetics. in russia eighty seven batches of thirty seven different medicines. as well as one hundred eighty seven sets of unfinished pharmaceutical substances were confiscated in the course of just one year. but you know what i have to say about it that it tends to be drunks in the middle price bracket that get the most. and you have to understand cheaper drugs are involved they're

usually the ones in the highest demand that sell on the large scale. this is one of a number of small town is operated by moscow based online store. it held a stash of fake dietary supplements. this one is an original packaging. and that one is a fake. a criminal gang was engaged in selling the counterfeit goods and it was a well organized operation. they mostly sold dietary supplements used to mail health and. they pleased to be on the internet. and prices that. these supplements were in high demand particularly in summer when people normally try to

lose weight. years to live with them to the cost to miss address. this is the deal this criminal group i did all takes place. now lol hello the korean provided necessary papers for a wholesale batch. here's the certificate and an invoice just in case. you're right someone's name in here and put the seal here. just in case someone asks you for your papers. these are empty boxes in case some get flattened holograms. there you go exactly one hundred boxes open if you want. we called. more expensive but they say they are.

trading. interesting. to be delivered to the porch of the police station and a career had no fear to bring dietary supplements he was sent for and found that the contents fell short of their original product. for. trafficking and counterfeit goods in russia.

and an. culture is the same i understand my family and i have always been a muslim woman being the fighters in the martyrs banner not discussions continue whether muslim women should be barred from appearing in public with their faces veil is this a. wealthy british style. that's not on the title of.

markets finance scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on our.

it. was one of the largest markets in eastern europe seventy hectares of shops in storage and its narrow passages between stalls with cheap goods. of two million people came to the market daily. traders didn't even pretend that their brands were genuine. is it a fake dolce and gabbana of course yes where did you get it from just. from china is this bag the real thing it's almost the real thing once you mean almost the real thing cost seven thousand six hundred. it was easy to arrange

deliveries of fake clothes to any region of russia. and we'd like to open a store in asia we know of courage and get it dolce and gabbana sign up you know what would it be realistic to sell fakes in such a still. of course their own way no problem. this is how fake goods make their way into russia most of them get across the border and through customs checkpoints in the far east. quantities of merchandise were delivered to moscow markets mostly to charity. from their fake good spread in smaller quantities through russia's regions usually then transported in large packages by bus. train inspectors and police often raids on churches to check the quality

certificates and trade permits. everybody still. during. they found six thousand containers with counterfeit goods worth two billion dollars. investigators. in the summer of two thousand and nine. decided to destroy the. us. government. six million dollars to destroy good. but we're willing to pay for it in order to make sure that none of these goods will ever make it to the store. they can be harmful to our citizen. children.

and even poison in. this cabinet the institute of hygiene and children's health contains toys and even books which experts call silent killers they are poisonous and dangerous is the. whole is the most common poisonous substance but there are some toys like these dishware for children. the radioactive. researches of have no pity for the. objects for toxic mechanical and radiation tests special attention is given to toys for infants russia has highest safety standards for protecting children than most other countries according to the institute's statistics fifteen percent of the.

proved to be harmful the share of counterfeit toys has not declined. buyers will never be able to determine with certainty the quality of toys no matter how closely they examine them. but there are some elementary measures of precaution to safeguard your child against many diseases. because a to watch there is something i'd like to say about toys for children under three years old do you know you've got to remember that any soft toy is a very good medium that they easily penetrate the soft break multiply and stay there for a long time. so that's why parents should always remember that any stuffed toy irregularly washed that's not just it must be washed cleaned and drawn. out of. this is the largest factory producing soap and detergent in eastern europe it's located near moscow and belongs to

a foreign company. the original chemical formulas for soap and dishwashing liquid kept secret mixtures and liquids arrive at the factory ready for packing. around a hundred people perform quality control. every two hours stanford the micro biological aboard tree change which products they want to test all the goods are examined under strict controls. all the product has a specific sentence consistency all these qualities so you can easily understand what it is when you see it is the one. holograms and other distinctive attributes of the packing are regularly changed but none of this completely saves this well known brand from rivals producing illegal counterfeit goods. what would what would be the reason the number of tricks you. sometimes trade is

dilutes the liquid before selling it sometimes the imitate products. but recently the number of such cases has been small. because our company uses only high quality packing materials and it is not always possible to find something similar. police officers have long been planning a raid on this old brick building fully decided against a forceful entry from the start and chose to carry out the raid quietly. a police officer catches a worker preparing a chemical compound for counterfeit detergent red handed. the little shop producing ripoffs was just a few kilometers away from the legal manufacturer's factory. inspectors found four tons of counterfeit merchandise ready to be shipped several crates with stickers and packing materials. and hundreds of sacks with the main ingredient.

it's then mixed with glue and a special compound to give the mixture its fruity aroma simple shaving raises were used to mark manufacturing dates on the packages factory officials believe it's the stamp that helps distinguish originals from fakes. products have the manufacturing date stamped in a special way so in principle it is possible to tell where that product was manufactured by our company. i. think bottles have the manufacturing date hand stamped with a mixture of paint and vanished it's unlikely that a regular customer would be able to tell the difference. the twenty thousand empty plastic bottles and caps to be filled with counterfeit liquid raised many questions

about how to combat fake products. matched factory standards. investigators failed to find out where the illegal factory had acquired its containers according to one theory they were manufactured illegal factory and then were delivered to this warehouse shady channels company could not explain where the containers came from they just didn't want the media to mention fake detergent because this will significantly decrease sales of the original product. in just a few months the illegal producing counterfeit goods cost the original brand three hundred thousand dollars paradoxically many of the customers themselves seemed unconcerned about having been sold a lower quality ripoff. it must read all over but this one has already been stable for ten minutes. detergent is very different from the real thing its quality is very low over it didn't bother the customers their

faith in the brand caused them to buy the goods they thought that was the intended quality also they bought the detergent despite its unusually low price when people see it shipped prices they don't even to pay attention to quality. but you. already own it it goes. the main factor which stimulates production of counterfeit goods is the consumer's desire to buy original products on the cheap but people can protect themselves by simply being careful when selecting. point cheap drugs and frankly i just think claims only from reputable retailers customers need to take action themselves with such a thriving flexible approach nor enforcement officials face an uphill battle to stamp out the production and trade of counterfeit goods.

russia would be soo much brighter if you knew about someone from funds to pressure . for instance on t.v. dot com.
