The network is called “mercury”… Deli “mercury” was famous for having successfully managed to avoid having to comply with the sanctions legislation. The stores openly selling French cheese and Spanish meat specialties,” – said in the investigation.

Reporters noted that “Sevastopol Supervisory authorities are trying to ignore the fact that “mercury” is clearly in violation introduced by the government of the Russian Federation embargo on the import of agricultural products from EU countries.”

“Radio Liberty” argues that customs seized several times by “mercury” prohibited goods in Russia, “but soon the sanctioned products again on the counter”.

“Direct evidence that the shops owned by Lyudmila Yanukovych, no: in the trade network, these assumptions did not deny or confirm,” say the authors of the investigation.
