Thus, it turned out that 5.4 thousand cars were brought in illegally, reported the deputy head of Security Service of Ukraine, the head of General Department "K" Andrey Kozhemyakin.

According to his words, state budget of Ukraine got 1.5 milliard hryvnias of customs payments as a result of official import of cars. At the same time, the state received 350 million UAH less, as a great number of cars were smuggled.
