Examination has shown that they contain about 600 grams of the potent substance sibutramine. The package was ordered from Kazakhstan.

A criminal case was initiated against the woman under Part 1 of Art. 226.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - illegal movement of potent substances across the State border of the Russian Federation with the member states of the Customs Union within the framework of the EurAsEC.
