Illegal import of 100 banking cards to Armenia prevented
Illegal import of 100 banking cards to Armenia was prevented in Zvartnots international airport in Yerevan by agents of Smuggling Prevention and Customs Control Administration at State Income Committee.


Banking cards, smuggled into Armenia were addressed to 20year-old Yerevan resident Lusine Shakhazizyan. To avoid customs control, cards were attached to magazine papers.


After operative data was sent in, banking cards were discovered during customs examination of a package sent from USA and confiscated.


Examination of banking cards of American Express, Capital One, CITIBANK, CHASE and other American banking systems, proved them to be false.
The case was submitted to National Security Service, and a criminal case instigated.
