A man from Yerevan tried to organize a “shadow” business in 2016. With that aim, he has tried to convince the border officer to allow crossing with a large volume of cigarettes, offering him money in turn. However, he has not succeeded in it. The man has been imprisoned, a criminal case has been initiated on “bribery”. The court has sentenced him for one and a half years.
