An underground factory manufacturing counterfeit Kommunarka candy was discovered in Ukraine a few days ago.
According to the Belarus Interior Ministry, “gray” accounting documents, fake stamps and labels were confiscated in office buildings.
What other local goods are copied in neighboring countries?
Newspaper Solidarity published a list of most common counterfeit products.
The article implies that the most counterfeited products are canned meat, dairy products, condensed milk, eggs, oatmeal, underwear, cigarettes and even furniture.
“Belarusian dairy products are known in Russia for their quality, so crooks even invent new brands. For example, in St. Petersburg and other cities, there was found a mysterious mark “Svitlogorye.” At first, it was written on the package that the manufacturer is the company “Dairy Products” from Homiel, then it said “Bialowieza cheese” from Vysokaya,” said the article.
