A criminal case has been opened against an employee of the Czech embassy in Moscow
It has become known about measures taken against one of the employees of the Czech Embassy in the Russian capital.
A criminal case was opened against the diplomat, who has already left the country, for smuggling prohibited substances.
Oleg Tyapkin, who is the director of the third European department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told RIA Novosti journalists about this.
It is noted that the agency representative shared information about the incident that occurred at the end of July.
Then the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the temporary chargé d'affaires representing the interests of the Czech Republic, Jan Ondřejka, and expressed a protest to him regarding the smuggling of potent drugs into Russia.
An employee of the Czech diplomatic mission, against whom a criminal case was opened, was asked to leave the Russian Federation.
It turned out that he took advantage of the offer and left Russia. Otherwise, the Czech diplomatic mission employee would have had to waive his immunity to be held accountable before the law.
