Operative-search activities were able to identify a man who wanted to smuggle illegally across the border smuggling in the form of diamonds, the total amount of which is almost 30 million rubles. This information was transmitted by the press service of the FCS of Russia.

As the passenger made his way to the "green corridor" in the customs control zone, then, according to the law, he made it clear that he had no goods that must be declared in writing.
