About half a billion rubles and several firearms have been seized at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport. SWAT teams busted twenty people during the raid on an international money laundering ring.
As several undistinguished men were loading their truck, a SWAT team ambushed them shouting “all to the ground”. The driver of the van tried to escape, but the police shot the tires and broke his windows. Soon, the men were lined up against a wall, handcuffed.
The people arrested were members of a Caucasian cash laundering gang that tried to smuggle more than 400 million rubles (about $13 million) and several firearms into the country, according to the press-service of the Interior Ministry of Russia.
The inter-regional criminal gang carried out their operations in the Caucasus region of Russia, the ministry explained.
“More than 100 billion rubles (about $3.2 billion) were extracted by the gang during their money laundering operations from the shadow sector of the Russian economy” said the Interior Ministry of Russia as quoted by RIA Novosti news agency.
