In Kyakhta, at the MAPP customs post, a woman from Mongolia attempted to illegally transport 40 thousand US dollars.
The Kyakhta District Court of Buryatia found her guilty of smuggling cash across the border of the Eurasian Economic Union. The amount in rubles was 3,200,000, based on the exchange rate of the Central Bank of Russia on August 27, 2025.
During the inspection, the inspector for special customs procedures explained to the Mongolian citizen that she was required to declare cash if the amount exceeded 10,000 US dollars. However, in response, the woman denied having such funds.
During further checks, cash was discovered that she attempted to take across the border — 3,200,000 rubles, which corresponds to 39,738.32 US dollars.
At the court hearing, the accused fully admitted her guilt and expressed remorse. The court classified her actions under part 1 of article 200.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation as the illegal movement of large sums of cash across the customs border of the EAEU.
As a result of the court proceedings, she was fined an amount equal to her annual income, totaling 153,911 rubles and 28 kopecks. The verdict has already come into legal force, as reported by the press service of the Kyakhta District Court.
