A citizen of Kazakhstan has been detained for bribing a Tyumen customs officer in the amount of 4,000 US dollars and 200,000 rubles. Tyumen customs officers were conducting an inspection of goods with signs of illegal movement across the customs border of the EAEU when one of them was offered by a representative of the sender to “solve the issue”. For a bribe, the 36-year-old man wanted to avoid responsibility and return 46 tons of walnuts and dried fruits

The customs officer informed the officers of the Tyumen customs anti-corruption department, who detained the bribe-giver at the moment of handing over the money.
