The fact of the transportation was established by the staff of the Regional Department of State Revenues in collaboration with the Border Service of the National Security Committee.
During the inspection of the "MAZ 54323" at the "Amangeldy" automobile checkpoint, an An-2T aircraft was found in its trailer, weighing 3,600 kg and valued at 1,800,000 Russian rubles.
"It became known that the aircraft was purchased by citizen M. at an auction for personal use. At the time of crossing the border, he lacked the identification conclusion for specific goods, as such cargo can be classified for both civilian and military purposes," said the head of the Export Control Department of the State Revenue Service, Maksut Kantarbaev.
Citizen M, who transported the aircraft without the necessary permits, was fined over 55,000 tenge by a ruling from the Irtysh District Court of Pavlodar Region.
It was previously reported that a Kazakhstani citizen went missing while attempting to illegally cross the border into Kyrgyzstan. The young man's father filed a report with the local police.
