The Yaroslavl management on struggle against offences in the consumer market on February, 2 has checked up the shoe stall situated in a trading complex "Old city" (Ñòàðûé ãîðîä).

Results of operative checking are unfavorable. Only in three points from sale are withdrawn 36 pairs of footwear because businessmen haven’t had corresponding certificates of quality. The part of footwear was bought on Cherkithovsk market in Moscow and in the same place were getting the documents for it - certainly, counterfeit. Even expensive footwear which was positioned in boutiques as Italian has not sustained the checking. Documents for it were also absent.
