Tobacco "95 Kvartal": in Kryvyi Rih, a network of 59 counterfeit points was exposed

If we have already touched on the tobacco topic today, let’s focus a bit on the President’s hometown – Kryvyi Rih.

My agents have recorded a network of 59 tax-free points of tobacco counterfeit sales in Kryvyi Rih. This includes networks like SMOK, My Device, and others.

Tobacco "95 Kvartal"

Everything at these points is classic.

The prices for cigarettes are 65-85 hryvnias.

The packs of international brands have a single code, the warning labels are haphazardly placed, and the excise stamps are printed on a home printer.

Is it necessary to say that fiscal receipts are not issued, or is it clear to you anyway?

Look closely at the photos and slides. Everything is outlined more than clearly.

Interestingly, no one is hiding this distribution. The illegal goods are openly displayed on the counter.
Even at the "95 Kvartal" stop, a point has been set up. Isn’t this outrageous?

This is only possible if the local police are involved in the distribution of the acquired profits.
It’s worth mentioning the entire Dnipropetrovsk region here, which, according to Kantar, accounts for 27% of the illegal tobacco market. Top-notch.

I understand that the region is near the frontline and constantly under enemy attack, but the same front needs money that flows through such schemes.

They leak through, and then we collect them through donations from people.
Is that right?
No. It isn’t right.

I urge the SID of National Police and the BES to pay attention to the published list of points.
