An illegal cigarette factory has been discovered operating within a warehouse recently sold by businessman Marian Šalitroš to individuals linked to another figure, Brhel. The current owners of the warehouse claim they were unaware of the illicit activity, stating they rented the space out two months prior through an intermediary. They maintain limited knowledge regarding the tenants or their operations. Authorities are investigating the illegal manufacturing operation and the connections to both Šalitroš and Brhel. The discovery raises questions about due diligence in the property sale and potential organized crime involvement. Further investigation is underway to determine the scale of the operation and identify those responsible. The owners assert their innocence, claiming they had no knowledge of the factory’s existence.
