Normal food continues to be smuggled into Russia
Gentlemen, patriots of the late Putin spill, the very ones who like to dress up with tanks and rockets and tie themselves with St. George ribbons from head to toe, like to tell that the products sold in supermarkets and shops in Russia are of excellent and highest quality, and prices are lower than in Europe. Well, we have already figured out everything about the prices, but here's the thing. While, at the direction of President Putin, the valiant customs and Roskomnadzor are crushing food, the rest of Russia is not hesitating to drag this very European food to Russia every single day Kommersant English
I have already told several times how the Vyborg customs was catching consignments of products from Finland. But this, generally speaking, is a drop in the ocean, since in St. Petersburg a simple googling of the words "goods from finland petersburg" gives whole chains of such shops where Finnish cheese and caviar, and tea coffee with fairy are quite sold. The fact that these stores exist in all districts of the city suggests that the products sold there are in constant demand. And where else would she come from, if not smuggled?
During the week, the employees of the Kaliningrad customs distinguished themselves. They caught, scary to say, a load of meat going from Kaliningrad to big Russia, where, scary to say, European cheese was hidden among the shmats of Russian pork! First of all, it is surprising, where does the customs clearance between the Kaliningrad region and Russia come from, is that another country?
They tried to import more than six tons of cheese and butter of French, Dutch, Estonian and Finnish origin from the Kaliningrad region to Russia. This is reported by the public relations department of the regional customs.
The smuggling channel was stopped by the sanctions with the support of the Federal Security Service of Russia in the region. At the border crossing in Chernyshevsky, a truck was stopped, in which, according to documents, 20 tons of frozen Russian pork and lard were transported. During the search, it turned out that some of the boxes contained sanctioned goods.
Products have been detained. The persons involved in the organization of supplies are being identified.
