good afternoon. good afternoon. hello, i'm a russia tv channel. and we know that you sell cigarettes in bulk, true. well, i don't sell, i deliver, and you know that you deliver, you work with delivery. what have you delivered now? these are cigarettes, these are rhodope cigarettes, yes, what are they called? tell me, please, where did you get tobacco on the territory of the russian federation with excise stamps from kazakhstan, uh, hungary, belarus and other foreign countries i have no idea on camera. i just had my case caught on camera fixed. you said that you are a representative of a company you are engaged in sales, including wholesale, just the same to retail chains, small tents. on what basis are you doing this , the courier changed his name from foot to foot, babbled something not separate members. he realized that he was in an extremely unpleasant situation and thought about how best to escape as soon as possible. what is your name? i brought

the delivery man. yes, i just work as a courier. they called me, i came and took these cigarettes from the courier's warehouse, as it turned out, the name is alexander alimov he works unofficially, he does not issue checks and cigarettes. according to him, they buy at a large wholesale base and resell the smuggled cigarette deliverer did not find anything better than to quickly and independently destroy the brought goods. look , you've got a whole urn of these wrong cigarettes. you are now aware. what are you doing, of course, you are at least a little ashamed yet. all the more, especially since especially since it is whole. hooray, of course, i'm ashamed of cigarettes delivered in moscow to an illegal, but popular business. it seems that none of the buyers think about what

exactly such poison distributors bring, the quality of these products often does not meet any criteria. blocks with logos of famous brands are probably made in a handicraft way . who knows that the law prohibits the purchase of cigarettes in online stores, such as alcohol. well, look, you can consider two brands - bt and dubaio, these brands should not be officially on sale in russia. that is, we immediately understand that we are talking about a fake. if you understand more specifically, we see, for example, on this pack there is a complete absence of excise duty. for example, here we see at least some kind of action, although it is fake. why you can not sell cigarettes over the internet through online stores, and at the moment it is prohibited by law. for 10 blocks of cigarettes , we were asked to pay 5,650 rubles. that is, the price of one pack is slightly more than 56 rubles. which, in principle, cannot

be, unless the company is operating at a loss. if you see a cigarette, it costs 60 rubles. 50 each. yes , 780 even 90 each. that is, it will talk about the fact that these cigarettes are illegal happens for one simple reason, because inside one pack of cigarettes. at the moment, already in the twenty- first year, the most minimal, uh, tax component is 77 rubles. well, almost everyone. uh, cigarettes, so to speak, that look like russian ones, but cost at the same time, well, there is 50-60 on average now it’s not so in the ruble market, that’s an accent brand, it will always be separate and this, of course, is a serious violation, in fact very uh, serious criminal article 327, and paragraph one of the criminal code up to 6 years in prison. but even such a serious punishment does not bother tobacco tycoons every year. even despite the pandemic, the number of such crimes is growing. for the last 5 years,

upward dynamics for the twentieth year, the internal affairs bodies detected more than one 1,700 crimes, and in comparison with past indicators , it can be reflected that in the nineteenth year this figure was a little more than 1,200 2018. we are conducting another tobacco raid, let's go to the store, let's see what there they sell a cereal point for a long time i didn’t have to look for the center of moscow lower susalny pereulok, building 5. there are two stores here at once, produkty 24 and tobacco openly sells counterfeit cigarettes, we buy a few left packs and

call. instead of the police department, the anti-dealer social movement made a test purchase after the sale of counterfeit tobacco products. hello, were you right? hello we came to visit you, you don’t need to take a camera. take away tell me, uh, where are they all, that is, let's so i start reading cigarettes that do not exist. well, crosses, maybe there is a roddope. cosmos once again, the stewardess downstairs again rhodopit, that is, bulgarian cigarettes, which were produced 30 years ago, before they were in soft packs. and now these are tough. here is the pack that was purchased, well, the excise stamp, apparently fake. well, i think the police will have to go now, we'll see what kind of grass it is. shop assistants started fussily calling the director, but he, apparently, did not answer. in the meantime, we were

waiting for the police, the administrator tried hide counterfeit. it took us literally 3 minutes to get out. and these tobacco dealers have begun to remove their illegal products, but they will not have time to do this, we are going back. oh, we managed to come, we managed to come, yes, and now you are starting to clean it all up. yes, you say that you are here just because i sold. what are you putting in. but look at these cigarettes, on which there are no excise murara, the young man began to pack. yes, unruly, i'm dying to die. yes, but these have not yet had time simply. yes, just haven't been able to take it yet. and you can see that you can own a package here, until the police have arrived, that you, that is, will not sell anymore. well, wait, then the police will come, and then you will clean them up. nothing wrong. wait, wait. here it is in any case, let's put it here and see, at least

how many of these packs are here that you managed, here they are. this shop has been selling counterfeit goods for several days, apparently, the business is so profitable that it suits everyone, both smugglers and local authorities, you can immediately see the violation of this calculation, because everything should be closed. that is, this is a fine immediately 90,000 rubles. right away yes, because, well, when you see the price tags on cigarettes, it is already prohibited. that is, this is already a violation of the law , something is already wrong here, because cigarettes must always be closed, there should be a separate list, a separate list of price lists, the so-called. finally, an investigative group of law enforcement officers arrived at the outlet, began to inspect the premises, goods and interviewed sellers. i do not want to talk. i am

i don't understand what you are saying please. now, upon the discovery of counterfeit cigarettes in a store in nizhny susalny lane, an investigative check is underway. but what about an ordinary smoker, so as not to acquire poison, the first and simple sign to distinguish an illegal cigarette is to pay attention. in what language are they, uh, described, yes, what is on the pack, if there is no russian language, if there is english, belarusian kazakh, there is any other chinese, then we can immediately say that these are illegal products. this this is the most important, and the second. it's probably the price. why

is such a serious place given to the fight against counterfeit cigarettes, and why are all the law enforcement agencies of russia simultaneously working to identify illegal immigrants? the answer is simple: taxes on tobacco make up a substantial part of the federal budget. this is the second item in the budget after oil and gas. it would seem tobacco, but it gives twice as much as alcohol. look at the direct figures - this is what they receive in the form of excises that makes more than 600 billion rubles. is it possible to stop the flow of cheap, and sometimes dangerous cigarettes that come to us from the former soviet republics and the countries of the middle east, because the excise tax on tobacco products, for example, in belarus, is more than three times lower than ours, and cigarettes are much cheaper, respectively. deputies and business representatives believe that this problem can be solved by how to properly protect a citizen and inform him that tobacco is

a socially dangerous phenomenon, in addition to everything that i have just told you from the point of view. the so -called classical market. tobacco. there is also a shadow part of the same market. that is smuggling counterfeit everything that is brought illegally, where there are already those mean little taxes paid by tobacco corporations . uh, coming to uh, the counter. we stop and think to pay 50 rubles. or 150 rubles. and the ma- from the box is the same, and here is the test and you are already straining. you want to be a law abiding citizen. do you really want to, well, somehow everything was on garlic, and there is a government there is you who must perform and you think, well,

50 and 150 rubles. this is a serious test of our citizenship, and you give 50 undermine even more health, because at least there is a certified product. you undermine even more health, you also come to medicine. they say yes. you are a smoker, of course, you are at risk. we decided to study the foreign tobacco market , paid attention to the united states of america, great britain and israel in israel, the

chief of the middle east bureau of news walked around the cigarette shops sergey pashkov buying tobacco in israel is not so easy, and in a specialized store and in ordinary food, tobacco products are hidden from your eyes in special lockers, please, one pack of tobacco and one pack of cigarettes in israeli stores are placed in identical single-color brown packages. you must know from the very beginning that you want the seller not a consultant, he will not tell you. which cigarettes are more pleasant to smoke, and you do not need to choose from a variety of colored packs. everything is gray, the same. how much is 102 from me please? please, a good present. and of course, the prices

for tobacco in israel are such that only those who cannot do without it can smoke. here a pack of cigarettes and a pack of tobacco for russian money costs about 2,000 rubles. together. in the united states, one pack of cigarettes will cost an average of $ 12, but you need to understand that the prices for tobacco products are quite different depending on the state in new york, for example, it will be much more expensive. and the cost of tobacco products is often indicated without sales tax, that is the final, the price of a pack, may be higher than you expect? how much does a cigarette cost 11-12 pounds

back in february 2006, the uk was one of the first to pass a law banning smoking in public places. tobacco prices have only grown since then and reached unprecedented heights, the cost of a pack here ranges from 11 to 13 pounds. today, it is more than 1,000 rubles. in the meantime, our security deputies and public figures are fighting smuggled and counterfeit tobacco in the shop. trade in nizhny susalny lane

poisoning resumed on april 1, 2021. as a journalistic experiment, we bought two packs of space cigarettes and a flight attendant, and paid 88 rubles for both. the kaliningrad snuffbox also continued its work. after all, locals are used to buying the cheapest cigarettes here. so in this package, lord, it's all known for 45 rubles. 45 rub. there were camels became rams rams. these are some smart ones. yes, it's complete. these are some kaliningrad aries for 45 rubles. and we see that it obviously produces somewhere in underground factory we approach the factories of the kaliningrad

region. it seems that heavy smokers are not very concerned about the origin of the goods, and while they are buying contraband and counterfeit goods, the shadow tobacco business will continue to improve their criminal craft. this is how we saw the fight against illegal and tobacco products in our country. this was our investigation from different regions of russia looked only to you see you on russia 24 tv channel.
