because the word all is well set. directly from the producer. but it's expensive. illegal vendors prefer to get invoice free and substandard goods from. the over. there 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. tours. much as someone put in thirty small and midsize manufacturers are engaged in making children based on the products of the fill a niche in

a market otherwise dominated by goods from china the chinese producer seventy percent. much a percentage of these illegally produced an imported. for 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. previously the pollen areas would. canisters that 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 those put it no one knows what was inside

lorillard rattles the babies fail to get 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 dealer or directly with the producer next to the bulk of the merchandise consisting of cheap fakes is purchased on the black market.

finalize these and send the information. the count of the drug must be sent to the pharmaceutical division of the russian health inspector at 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 or turned out by the thousands. to fake them harmless 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.

so what does a green if the pharmaceutical come to the patient this time. but . 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 ordinary 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. these 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 nobody is there 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 the look of them. according to

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 police to his minutes 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 mis address. this is the deal this criminal group will make and 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. 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 another come. more expensive but they say they are. they say only they can sell. trading. we have. an.

known brand from rivals producing illegal counterfeit goods. was the reason number of tricks they mainly use. 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 they 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
