Belarus-made beddings faked in Russia

Fake bedsheets are sold in large numbers in the Southern Russia under the label of a textile factory in the Belarusian city of Baranavichy, Igar Kukharski, the factory's marketing director told reporters. He said they learned about it when some businessmen from the south of Russia came to Baranavichy for negotiations and found out that the price for the Belarusian bed-sheet sets was Br40-60,000 ($20-30).

The Russian businessmen claimed that the same bed sheets with the proper labels and a logotype was sold in the south of Russia for $10 only.

Investigation revealead that the fake items were packed near the Russian city of Smolensk.
