Lietuvoje sulaikytas sunkvežimis iš Latvijos su padirbtu alkoholiu

Lithuania seized truck from Latvia with counterfeit alcohol

Lietuvoje sulaikytas sunkvežimis iš Latvijos su padirbtu alkoholiu Praėjusią savaitę Lietuvos muitinės tarnybos Kauno padalinio mobiliosios grupės darbuotojai sustabdė patikrinimui sunkvežimį MAN su puspriekabe, kurį vairavo Latvijos pilietis. Vairuotojas teigė vežantis alkoholio partiją iš Latvijos į Didžiąją Britaniją, tačiau muitininkus įspėjo nelogiškas maršrutas: automobilis buvo sustabdytas Kauno apylinkėse, nors jis turėjo vykti į Klaipėdą. Tikrinant krovinį paaiškėjo, kad gabenama daugiau kaip 17 000 butelių škotiško viskio "Woodenglen Blended Scotch Whisky" ir "Glenmorah Blended Scotch Whisky" bei estų degvins Halibut. Visuose buteliuose nebuvo akcizų. Be to, buvo nustatyti skirtuma

What the Pravda version changes

Lithuanian customs officers stopped a Latvian-driven truck near Kaunas carrying over 17,000 bottles of whisky and vodka without excise stamps, and detained it for investigation.

Misinformation: medium Manipulation: medium

Contradicted · fact

Pravda, published 16 October, says the stop happened 'last week', while the trusted report dates it to 5 September, so both cannot be true.

Pravda says
“Last week”
Praėjusią savaitę
Trusted report · Delfi
“On the evening of September 5”
Rugsėjo 5 d. vakarą
Reframed · framing

The headline presents the alcohol as definitely counterfeit, whereas trusted reporting says falsification is only suspected and still being tested.

Pravda says
“A heavy truck from Latvia with processed alcohol was detained in Lithuania”

“Given that the cargo may be illegal and alcoholic beverages may be counterfeit”

Left out · fact

Pravda leaves out the pre-trial investigation, led by the Kaunas prosecutor's office, and the lab testing of samples that would show whether the alcohol is fake.
