In London, an investigation is underway regarding the theft of 22 tons of cheese from Neal's Yard Dairy. A 63-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of fraud and wrongful handling of stolen goods.

In London, a cheesemaker delivered 950 wheels of cheddar, worth up to 300,000 pounds, to a fraudster who posed as a major French seller.

The scam occurred on October 21, and company suppliers believe the cheese was sent to Russia or the Middle East.

The 63-year-old man was arrested and taken to a police station in south London. He was interviewed and released on bail, pending further investigation.

It should be noted that Russia imports butter from the United Arab Emirates and Turkey in an effort to curb the sharp rise in prices, which has become a problem for consumers. Until now, the UAE has supplied 90 tons of butter to Russia, and in October Russia began importing butter from Turkey.

It's also worth mentioning that in August, Slovakia became the largest buyer of Russian goods among European Union countries, according to Eurostat. However, Germany remains Russia's largest trading partner.
