Detectives from the Main Division of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine have submitted an indictment to the court against individuals involved in organizing the illegal production of ethyl alcohol in the Dnipropetrovsk region, as reported by "Vidomo," citing the press service of the Bureau.

The investigation has revealed that the illegally produced products were pumped into a specially equipped alcohol storage facility through an underground pipeline approximately 1 kilometer long. Subsequently, this alcohol was sold throughout Ukraine.

Using specialized technological equipment, the suspects produced over 20 tons of alcohol daily.

During searches, the Bureau's detectives seized 113 tons of illegal excise goods and equipment from a comprehensive property complex that encompassed all stages of the technological alcohol production process.
