a small batch of certified quality toys is signed with an official dealer or directly with the produce. next to the bulk of the merchandise consisting of cheap fakes is purchased on the black market. given. the counterfeit drugs found in a normal batch and in this case the russia health inspector it publishes details on its website to help people.

in. what's new in five hundred thousand international units of the federal suppose a tree is 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. of the count of the drug must be sent to the pharmaceutical division of the russian

health inspectorate 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 homeless chemical ingredients a 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. if pharmaceutical contests. this time. it first takes a drug and. the time is lost in the progress that's it.

this is the climax of a special operation. in some petersburg police officers posing as purchased thirty thousand dollars worth of a well known drug from a. well the illegal business owner was counting the money the officers managed to search his office. these were small time operators. the labels were absolutely indistinguishable from the original. numbers were neatly printed on boxes and packets and packaging machine worked at the touch of a button churning out a constant stream of. what was supposed to be a powerful anti flu drug they used. and even some artificial apple and lemon flavoring . the merchandise was then sold under the same name as the original product.

is the seal of the swiss company no doubt of course. there are a real pharmaceutical company but this is a fake. with the head of the crime the director of a st petersburg based pharmaceutical company at the it was a legal 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 by then and it got to them. according to w.h.o. statistics the number of falsifying pharmaceuticals in circulation worldwide 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

a well organized operation. they mostly sold dietary supplements used to male health and. they pleased to be on the internet. and prices that. these compliments were in high demand particularly in summer when people normally try to lose weight. years to live with them to the cost to most address. this is the criminal group will make it all takes place inside a car well old fellow the korean provided necessary papers for a wholesale batch. here's a certificate and an invoice just in case. right someone's name in here and put the seal here. just in case someone asks you for your papers.

was one of the largest markets in eastern europe seventy head of shops and stores that narrow passages between stalls with cheap goods. up to a million people daily. traders didn't even. enter and. 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 one to mean almost the real thing cost seven thousand six hundred. it was easy. to fake. we'd like to open a store in asia enough courage and put it all chained up on a sign of a what would it be realistic to sell fakes in such a stall but. of course their own 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. mostly. from the fake good spread in smaller quantities through russia's regions. packages by. trade inspectors and police often raids on. everybody stay where you are. during. they found six thousand containers with counterfeit goods worth two billion dollars. investigators never discovered expensive. in the summer of two thousand and nine.

decided to destroy the. us. government more than six million dollars to destroy these goods. but we're willing to pay for it to do it in order to make sure that none of these goods will ever make it to the u.s. if they can be harmful to our citizens. 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 either the whole is the most common poisonous

substance but there are some toys like these dishware for children. the radioactive. research is of have no pity for the. they treat them purely as 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 baez 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 if coach there is something i'd like to say about

toys for children on the 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 to be regularly washed that's not just it must be washed cleaned i'm still really 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 stand for the micro biological aboard tree choose which products they want to test

all the goods are examined under strict controls. must all be locked has a specific sentence consistency all these qualities so you can easily understand what it is when you see it is the white. 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 number of tricks they may not use. sometimes trade is dilutes the liquid before selling it sometimes they imitate all 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 about. police offices 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 tons of counterfeit merchandise ready to be shipped several crates with stickers and packing materials. and hundreds of sacks with the main ingredients. it's then mixed with glue and a special compound to give the mixture its fruity aroma simple shaving razors were used to mark manufacturing dates on the packages factory officials believe it's the stamp that helps distinguish originals from fakes.

camp the one attacked during date stamped in especially so in principle it is possible to tell whether a product was manufactured by our company. i. think both have the manufacturing date stamped with a mixture of paint and. 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 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 cheap prices they don't even to pay attention to quality. at the. ready open it is. the main factor which stimulates production. in the counterfeit

goods is the consumer's desire to buy a regional products on the cheap but people can protect themselves by simply being careful when selecting toys by not buying cheap drugs and buying from interesting claims only from reputable retailers customers need to take action himself with such a frightening flexible approach nor enforcement officials face an uphill battle to stamp out the production and trade of counterfeit goods.
