Law enforcers raid tobacco factory in Lviv region

In Ukraine's Lviv region, detectives with the Bureau of Economic Security are conducting searches at the premises of a local tobacco factory.

That’s according to the Bureau’s press service, Ukrinform reports.

"Company managers are suspected of illegally manufacturing and storing tobacco products that are not affixed with excise tax stamps and are not reflected in the accounting and tax records, without the income received from their sale being declared," the statement says.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the BES seized more than 450 vehicles belonging to a tobacco product distributor as part of compensation for losses incurred to the state budget amounting to UAH 270 million.
