On 23 November 2025, FCS anti-corruption units together with the Central Customs Directorate integrity service, supported by the customs SOBR, stopped the activities of an organised group.
Its members included Krasninsky post staff suspected of systematically taking bribes on a large and especially large scale from dishonest foreign-trade participants.
Investigators believe that in return for cash the officers unlawfully gave certain importers advantages when clearing tobacco products and car parts.
Further operational and search measures are under way.
