Businessman in Krasnoyarsk loses 140 perfume bottles worth over a million dollars in seizure
In Siberia's Red City, a Businessman Lands in Hot Water over Unlabeled Perfume
Red Alert in the City of Minerals! A businessman found himself in a sticky situation when he got busted for peddling unmarked perfumes. Based on reports, over a million rubles worth of fragrances and toiletries were confiscated from his shop.
Penetrating the Perfume Paradise called "Selection MARKET" in the "Siberian Town" shopping mall, inspectors from the Regional Rosprotekhnadzor were on high alert after receiving a tip-off about the sale of illegal aromas. During their probe, their suspicions were confirmed, leading to a controlled purchase.
The subsequent investigation revealed an astonishing 140 bottles of scents and hygiene products without proper labeling, weighing in at a whopping 1,008,351 rubles!
The entrepreneur behind it all, Dmitry A. Ermakov, now faces administrative sanctions, possibly including hefty fines and confiscation of his ill-gotten goods.

This could potentially affect the retail business landscape and even impact consumer trust in the lifestyle sector. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to labeling requirements in finance and business, especially with global trade alterations and economic sanctions currently underway.
