The documents provided by the driver for inspection did not meet the established requirements and raised doubts among the police officers about the legality of the cargo, which was later confirmed. The cost of the live cargo, purchased from one of the agricultural enterprises of the region and destined for the Smolensk region of Russia, amounted to Br124 million. The animals were confiscated.
