For 5 years, the woman, traveling to Poland for goods, purchased jewelry there, which she then imported and sold in Belarus. The lady's main clients were local residents. Payment was made in Belarusian rubles or dollars. In the absence of sufficient funds, installments were provided. The service also included accepting orders for jewelry of interest.
