Russian women had jewelry worth millions of rubles confiscated at Sheremetyevo airport
Customs officers at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport seized jewelry worth 21 million rubles from Russian women flying to Thailand. This is reported by press service Federal Customs Service (FCS) of Russia.

During a conversation with employees of the capital’s air harbor, the women stated that all the discovered items were of no value, and the precious stones were “glasses.” According to them, they were not aware of the need to declare.
“In turn, the customs examination established that the jewelry was new and made of 585 gold and 925 silver with inserts of diamonds, tourmaline, corundum, beryl, topaz, enamel, amethyst, tanzanite, citrine, cultured pearls, opal and labradorite,” the message says. Now Russian women face 5 to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to a million rubles.
