A citizen of Tajikistan, who arrived at Minsk National Airport on a flight from Tashkent, chose a green corridor intended for crossing the border without goods subject to declaration.

However, during customs operations, employees of the Minsk regional customs found more than $ 40 thousand and 21 thousand Uzbek soums. This is more than four times higher than the established norm for the movement of funds without customs declaration.

The criminal case was initiated under Part 2 of Art. 228 of the Criminal Code. The sanction of the article provides for punishment up to imprisonment for up to five years, as well as confiscation of funds.

Illegal transfer of more than $ 30 thousand in the equivalent is subject to criminal liability.
