The illegal scheme for car imports from America and Europe in the Russian Federation is revealed

Russian car dealers use illegal schemes to import foreign cars. Machines are decorated as a transit to Central Asia. Expensive premium cars continue to be imported from Europe to Russia contrary to sanctions. The illegal import scheme was revealed by the journalists of the Finnish TV and Radio Company Yle. Journalists have found a chain of companies through which cars from America and Europe are supplied in the Russian Federation. The owners of some of them are Russians.

As part of the investigation, journalists traced the way of a new Lexus RX 2023 crossover from Canada to Russia. Over the ocean, the car was purchased by a person with a Russian name and then he went to the Finnish port of Kotka. There, Lexus RX was discovered at the auto -locomotive together with BMW X3. The machines decided to install GPS, which made it possible to trace their path. The cars crossed the border of Finland from the Russian Federation and headed first to St.

Petersburg, and then to a large warehouse to Moscow. From there, Lexus RX was put in Tomsk, where they were put up for sale in a car dealership for 100,000 euros - about twice as expensive than in Canada. The GPS tracker shows that now the car is actively driving, that is, it has already been bought.

The Finnish customs was informed by journalists that the documents of the car were not intended for the Russian Federation - they were issued as a transit into one of the countries of Central Asia, because it is not forbidden. Transportation of crossovers is engaged in a company with Russian capital and apparently for the customs of the Russian Federation it had completely different documents.
