“The customs authorities in the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow received an inspection material regarding the fact that a woman was detained at the post office by customs officers at the time she received a parcel containing medicines,” the agency quotes Titov. — The study of the received materials showed that the results of the pre-investigation check carried out by customs officers do not contain grounds for initiating a criminal case and do not allow making a decision in accordance with Art. 145 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation.”
