Officers of the Samara Customs Service for the Ulyanovsk region, together with the Ulyanovsk region’s Federal Security Service, have uncovered a fictitious firm that  carried out illegal currency transactions involving the transfer of nearly 7 million rubles to a non-resident’s account using false documents.

In the course of the verification measures it was established that by prior collusion two Ulyanovsk residents opened a company for a front person who was unaware of their criminal intentions. After that, one of the women also registered another fictitious organization in the territory of a neighboring country, with which were concluded 10 contracts for the supply of construction materials in Russia. However, the goods were not delivered

A criminal case has been initiated for this fact, the responsibility for which is stipulated in paragraphs “b”, “c” of part 2 of article 193.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – the commission of currency transactions for the transfer of funds in foreign currency or the currency of the Russian Federation to the accounts of non-residents with the use of false documents
