In the course of the operational activities, two businessmen, who rent premises at LLC Techno Invest located on the Kuilyuk-3 massif of the Yangihayot district, were detained when they tried to sell expired foodstuffs (juices, tomato paste, condensed milk) worth 25 million soums with a false expiry date.

During the inspection of the two warehouses rented at this base, expired, unfit for consumption goods with a falsified expiration date totaling 2.47 billion soums, as well as acetone, used in removing the expiry date inscription, were found.
