VIA Gry lead singer caught smuggling

VIA Gry lead singer Erika Hertseg was caught smuggling. During customs inspection, approximately one million hryvnia was found on the woman, which the performer had not declared.

This served as grounds for the confiscation of the funds. The money will go into the state budget. Such a ruling was issued by the Kyiv Regional Court of Appeal. A copy of the decision has been published in the Unified State Register of Court Decisions.

According to the document, the artist attempted to cross the border with one million in her hand luggage on 20 March last year.

The performer arrived in Ukraine from Almaty with the money. Her baggage contained $29,800, €12,500 and 15,000 roubles. Most of the funds were confiscated. The performer was allowed to keep only €10,000, which is permitted to be carried without declaration.
