    SELLERS OF COUNTERFEIT BANKNOTES APPREHENDED IN MOSCOW

    A criminal group has been detained in Moscow when trying to sell about
    500,000 counterfeit rubles, a source at the city police department's
    organized crime agency told Itar-Tass on Sunday.

    Plain-clothes cops got in touch with the criminals in the Moscow
    region, pretending that they wanted to buy counterfeit banknotes.

    "The meeting was planned on Dmitrovskoye highway, and the
    intermediary - a graduate of a Moscow prestigious college - was caught
    red-handed. Soon two of his accomplices, natives of Armenia and North
    Ossetia and Moscow college students, were apprehended. The detained
    men age 20-25 years," the source.

    The young men were selling counterfeit banknotes, which were made on
    a laser printer with watermarks. "Yet the banknotes were lacking the
    metallic stripe. The scoundrels were asking for 450 rubles per each
    counterfeit banknote," the source said.

    A criminal case was opened. Police think that the detained men were
    simply intermediaries and did not counterfeit the banknotes themselves.
