Aeroflot: the company’s employees are not on the list of accused of smuggling electronics from the United States

Aeroflot said that its employees were not on the list of accused of smuggling US $ 50 million worth of electronics. Washington earlier said that the scheme involved air passengers from among the current and former employees of the Russian airline. According to preliminary information from the Consulate General, there is one Russian among the accused.

“Today, the media is spreading a message that ten citizens of various countries, including the Russian Federation, have been charged with illegal export of electronic equipment from the United States. In the published list of citizens who were charged, there are no former or current employees of Aeroflot, “- the press secretary of the company Yulia Spivakova told reporters (quoted by Interfax). She noted that earlier Aeroflot stopped attempts to involve its employees in violation of cross-border rules. “Then tough, including procedural, response measures were taken,” the press service added.

The Russian Consulate General in New York sent a request to the US State Department with a request to inform if there are Russians among the detainees. According to preliminary information, there is one Russian citizen on the list.

We will remind, the United States yesterday, October 19, accused ten people of smuggling electronics worth $ 50 million. It was alleged that they bypassed export laws and regulations of the United States with the help of passengers from employees and former employees of Aeroflot. Thus, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch were transported to Russia. The State Department has revoked the visas of more than 100 Aeroflot employees.
