For the purpose of illegal enrichment, a group of people purchased raw materials and equipment, set up equipment that ensured a full cycle of mass production of counterfeit products.

The alcoholic mixture was poured into tetrapacks and plastic containers under the guise of well-known brands. A surrogate dangerous to human life and health was sold in large batches to trusted customers.

According to the results of the searches, employees of the ESBU seized almost 15,000 liters of counterfeit alcohol and 3,500 liters of alcohol-containing substances. Additives, flavorings, equipment, car, etc. are also removed.

The estimated amount of confiscated counterfeit products and property is almost UAH 4 million.
