Jet fighter components seized at Belarus' Polish border in Brest
Officers of the Zapadny Bug customs house and the Brest regional office of the Committee for State Security (KGB) seized jet fighter components at the Kozlovichi checkpoint on Belarus' Polish border last week.
Two propellant tanks and other spare parts for jet fighters were found in a truck-trailer en route from Russia to Poland. The transportation documents described the shipment as ferrous metal tanks.
Belarusian regulations ban such exports. Criminal proceedings have been launched under Article 229 of the Criminal Code. Investigators currently try to establish the shipment's consignor and consignee.
