In the first three months of 2025, Russian customs officers stopped more than two and a half thousand cases of illegal currency movement across the border totaling 473.4 million rubles.
According to the Federal Customs Service, most of the violators tried to take dollars and euros out of the country. Illegal operations were especially actively conducted with Turkey, the UAE and Azerbaijan. The list also includes Georgia, China, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Serbia, and Estonia as countries for both import and export of funds.
