Media reported searches in Zenden's office and warehouses

The FSB and Ministry of Internal Affairs officers started searches in the Moscow office of the shoe company Zenden, as well as in its warehouses. This was reported by RBC on November 21, citing sources.

The publication notes that investigative actions are carried out in the White Stolby neighborhood of Domodedovo near Moscow and in the Moscow office of Zenden on Shchukinskaya Street.

According to the publication's source, the Main Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia in Moscow initiated a criminal case under part 2 of article 171.1 of the Criminal Code ("Production, acquisition, storage, transportation or sale of goods and products without marking and (or) application of information provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation"). There is no official information yet.

The sale of goods without labeling is prohibited in Russia from July 2020.

In August, the Russian Ministry of Justice added businessman Andrei Pavlov, founder of the Zenden chain, to the list of foreign agents.
