Customs officers at Sheremetyevo International Airport of Moscow have detained an Armenian citizen who had arrived in the Russian capital city on board a flight from Istanbul, Turkey.
The man had attempted to clear more than 3kg of jewelry from customs without paying customs duty, the Sheremetyevo customs press service informed.
Customs officials found 619 jewelry items—stones, including earrings, bracelets, ornaments, and rings—inside the handbag of this passenger.
This Armenian national could be facing smuggling charges under the Russian Code on Administrative Offenses, Rosbalt reported.
