The gold bars were hidden in a hiding place under the back seat of the car. The cost of contraband gold was estimated at $ 572.6 thousand.
In April of this year, Bayram Gandjaliyev and Elman Huseynov were detained while trying to smuggle 12 kg of gold of the highest standard and 131,000 US dollars into Georgia.
Ramin Nabiyev, who brought gold bars worth about $ 24,000 to Georgia, was detained in June. -03D-
