Eighty illegal traders arrested by police in swoop on Warsaw market

Plain-clothes policemen backed up by immigration officers arrested more than eighty people yesterday at Warsaw's Stadion Dziesieciolecia market for selling bootleg CDs, smuggled alcohol and fake brand-name products. Most of those detained were from the former Soviet republics, who had entered Poland as tourists. Twenty traders from Armenia, Belarus and Ukraine will probably be expelled from the country. Police also arrested two Poles who were offering child pornography videos for sale. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) M.K.
