June 3, Pozirk. <\/strong>Belarus\u2019 State Customs Committee (SCC) reported breaking up a trafficking ring that sought to supply military-purpose goods from Russia into the European Union\u2019s countries under the guise of civilian equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four citizens of Belarus, in collusion with other unidentified individuals, imported engines, engine blocks, transmissions and components for them from Russia, the SCC reported on June 3, adding that these items are used in the manufacture of combat tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a site in Minsk, the appearance of the equipment was modified to pass it off for Chinese-made engines for power plants. It was then handed over for \u201cexport procedures\u201d as goods to be supplied to the EU, the SCC said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customs officers reportedly seized two trucks containing 24 such items disguised as Chinese engines. Twenty-two searches were conducted, resulting in the seizure of armaments and 100,000 US dollars. In total, 200 weapon components were seized, the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspects were arrested and criminal proceedings were instituted against them under Part Two of the Criminal Code\u2019s Article 333, which penalizes the smuggling of prohibited or hazardous items and carries between five and 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
