A 64-year-old foreign national was stopped at Astrakhan airport in Russia carrying one million undeclared rubles in cash, bound for Baku, Azerbaijan.
Russian customs said the man told officers the money was a gift for his son's wedding. Officers returned 840,000 rubles to him and confiscated 160,000 rubles, about 3,378 manat, for breaching the declaration rules.
The arithmetic of the story is the story: a father's wedding gift, carried in cash across a border, ran straight into a customs limit, and the celebration fund came home lighter by nearly a sixth.
