Tobacco counterfeit worth 3 million hryvnias: an illegal distribution channel shut down in the capital
The operators who organized the distribution of non-excise electronic cigarettes and hookah tobacco were stopped in Kyiv. The counterfeit products of dubious origin were sold through specialized outlets and online platforms to evade payment of mandatory taxes to the budget.

The full range of individuals involved in the illegal activity, as well as the origin of the counterfeit products, is being established.
Operational support was provided by detectives of the Territorial Department of the SBI in Kyiv region together with border guards of the Kyiv Regional Border Coordination Center under the procedural supervision of the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office. Investigative actions are ongoing.
