Lipetsk factory of the Ukrainian company Roshen has been blocked since morning Wednesday, April 1.

Masked officers of special forces are not letting people in or out of the premises.

This is reported by Censor.NET citing Lipetsk medium Gorod48.ru.

The local medium spoke to head of the legal department of the factory. According to her, the 'masked show' started at 8 in the morning April 1. People in masks have gathered all employees in a meeting room and are conducting investigation.

When asked what was going on, the factory's deputy head Konstantin Vakhonin said emotionally, "Ask those who came here," and hung up.

As reported, similar situation happened at Roshen factory in March of 2014. Then, OMON and Moscow police blocked both Roshen locations in Lipetsk. As it turned out, emergence of security forces in the factory had been associated with investigative actions in the criminal case of copyright infringement. Russian corporation "United Confectioners" claimed Roshen had unlawfully used their registered name Lastochka (swallow).
