Police in Shakhovskaya stopped the transportation of unmarked tobacco

According to the Department of Information and Public Relations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Moscow region, men suspected of illegal trafficking in unmarked tobacco products were detained in Shakhovskaya. On the road near the village of Voskresenskoe, traffic police officers noticed two parked trucks. The drivers, a 37-year-old citizen of a Central Asian state and a 39-year-old resident of Lyuberts, were suspicious.

When inspecting the cars, the police found cardboard boxes with unmarked tobacco products without accompanying documents. The cars were escorted to the territorial department. During the movement, the guards noticed a foreign car, which long followed the patrol car. The 47-year-old driver from near abroad in the cabin found blocks of cigarettes without markings. He was also taken to the department.

The delivered explained that they were carrying tobacco from the Tver region to Moscow for a fee. One of them found a part-time job in the messenger. Since there were many boxes, he attracted acquaintances with machines to transport cargo. On a passenger car, he accompanied the goods and reported the route of the detour of the posts. In total, about 200 thousand packs of cigarettes worth more than 30 million rubles were seized. A criminal case has been opened. The court chose the defendants a preventive measure in the form of detention. The police determine the accomplices and the origin of the products.
