The organized criminal group was exposed after more than three years of producing and distributing counterfeit household chemicals in Penza. The counterfeit products were sold nationwide through major marketplaces such as Wildberries and OZON.
The prevented damage exceeded 5 million rubles. The counterfeit goods were labeled in Russian and included fake import markings, complicating their detection. The production was orchestrated by several entrepreneurs who employed illegal migrants in underground workshops.
The organized group was found guilty. The court imposed fines exceeding 500,000 rubles for each participant, and one individual received a sentence of two years in a high-security penal colony.
Vlasta-Consulting remains committed to protecting intellectual property rights, assisting in identifying violations, and contributing to the fight against illegal activities that threaten consumer rights and the economy.
