A couple from Yekaterinburg tried to smuggle rings worth 2.6 million rubles.
Customs officers stopped a married couple at Koltsovo Airport who brought with them three rings with precious stones. The Ural residents arrived from Phuket, and during the inspection, jewelry items were discovered in their possession.
The man explained to the customs officers that he makes jewelry himself, and these rings are old, so he decided not to declare the goods.
