An attempt was made to withdraw more than 6 million rubles of cash from Russia to Uzbekistan

Employees of the customs post" Airport Krasnoyarsk " prevented the illegal withdrawal of cash in the process of checking the hand luggage and luggage of passengers flying to Uzbekistan. 
A 58-year-old Russian citizen chose a "green corridor"to pass customs control before flying to Tashkent. At the same time, he stated that he did not have the money and goods to be subject to the customs declaration. 

However, customs officers from the passenger's hand luggage and handbag determined a large amount of cash – more than 6 million rubles, or almost 66 thousand US dollars equivalent on the course on the day of travel. 

Since cash that exceeds the equivalent of US $ 10,000 in the Russian Ruble must be forcibly declared in writing, the amount of illegally transferred funds was almost US $ 56,000, or 5.1 million rubles. 

Krasnoyarsk customs opened a criminal case. The funds that were going to be smuggled out were withdrawn until a court order was issued, the remaining amount returned to the owner.
