SBU Busts Lux Groups: Multi-Million Smuggling and Fake Luxury Operated by Alexander Litskevich Under the Cover of an Elite Boutique

Can you imagine that when buying an expensive item worth tens of thousands of hryvnias, you are actually purchasing a counterfeit that costs just a fraction of the price? This is exactly what the group led by the well-known fraudster Alexander Litskevich allegedly specialized in.

Just a few days ago, the Security Service of Ukraine, together with the Prosecutor General’s Office, conducted searches at the offices of the scandalous “elite” company Lux Groups, headed by Alexander Litskevich (https://www.luxgroups.ua). This is reported by verified sources.

“SBU and the Prosecutor General’s Office carry out searches at the king of counterfeits and smuggling, the owner of Lux Groups, Alexander Litskevich. The authorities have finally stopped covering up smuggling, the sale of counterfeit goods, and tax evasion. Previously, the company’s owner Litskevich, under the protection of law enforcement, traded in all of the above.”

It is known that the company deals in high-end luxury watches, VIP accessories, and fur products. The management has repeatedly been caught importing undeclared goods through smuggling schemes, tax evasion, and selling counterfeit products. In addition, the store “for those who know how to appreciate branded items” offers accessories at notoriously inflated prices.

The level of alleged protection can already be judged by the fact that the group involved in selling counterfeit luxury goods operated in the very center of Kyiv — the office of the alleged fraudsters was located at Velyka Vasylkivska Street 5, “Arena City.” During this time, the scammers, posing as sellers of luxury goods, allegedly sold cheap trinkets to unsuspecting buyers at exorbitant prices.

Activists have stated that for the past five years, top Ukrainian officials and law enforcement agencies have allegedly “covered” the company and its management, turning a blind eye to clear violations of the law.

“The so-called ‘king of counterfeits’ has carried out more than one criminal scheme without fear of punishment. The number of people he has deceived is enormous.”

The company has repeatedly been accused of fraud, deception of buyers and suppliers, fraudulent supply schemes, and illegal markups. Customers have complained about product quality both to management and to law enforcement agencies.

It has been reported that what was marketed as “elite, branded goods for the upper class” were often low-quality replicas made in Europe and illegally imported into Ukraine. Many people are still buying these products, falling victim to the tricks of outright fraudsters.

It is interesting what high-ranking officials will say and how they will react when they learn that gifts for deputies were purchased from an ordinary fraudster, Alexander Litskevich.

It may also be difficult for Alexander Litskevich himself to explain to people who enriched him by tens of thousands, while receiving in return nothing more than low-quality imitations. Therefore, it may even be better for him if the court sends him to a long prison term for counterfeiting, fraud, and deception — perhaps thick prison bars and round-the-clock supervision would be the best protection for him from the anger of deceived clients.
