The former head of the Federal Customs Service (FCS) Andrei Belianov was in the hospital, Kommersant writes with reference to sources.
According to the interlocutors of the publication, Belyaninov was hospitalized in the Central Clinical Hospital due to the exacerbation of chronic diseases that could be caused by stress associated with recent searches and resignation .
Another source of Kommersant claims that the ex-head of the FCS simply intends to undergo an in-depth examination-its results may be needed if Belyaninov is offered a new position. Recall that earlier he himself admitted that he would continue the service in another place. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov also said that nothing prevents Bellehanin from continuing the civil service, although Peskov "is unknown about some prepared appointments."
According to Kommersant, the hospitalization of Belyaninov may affect the terms of investigation of the criminal case on the illegal movement of alcoholic beverages across the customs border of the Russian Federation in a large amount and non -payment of mandatory customs payments. In this case, the ex-head of the FCS takes place as a witness.
