An underground production of liquids for electronic cigarettes has been uncovered in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Two entrepreneurs from Kryvyi Rih organized the large-scale artisanal production.
It is noted that to carry out their intentions, the defendants purchased raw materials of dubious origin, independently mixed ingredients in proportions not controlled by any safety standards, and poured the products into containers.
The defendants organized production facilities in rented premises, which they equipped with special equipment. The homemade goods were sold by the suspects online and through local entrepreneurs who sold the liquid at retail outlets. In particular, at "islands" in shopping centers.
