Lieutenant Colonel Barkalbasov recalled his work in the OBKhSS during a conversation with a Turmush correspondent. He mentioned that during inspections of large stores aimed at preventing economic crimes, they encountered various situations. In particular, he recalled an incident when, during an inspection of one of the saleswomen, who turned out to be hiding money, she attempted to dispose of the evidence by swallowing it right in front of him.
