According to local reports, figures released by Russia’s State Statistics Service show that Russian retailers sold 9.9 million more litres of whisky than was imported into the country in 2013
The agency therefore claimed that Russia’s counterfeit whisky market could be worth at least £230 million (eight billion rubles).
The State Statistics Service began collecting data indicating a discrepancy between the amount of whisky imported and the amount sold in Russia in 2010.
