In this case, a lot of muddy. Suitcases have been found out in 2016, business has been got in a year. According to the Argentine special services, the embassy staff not only knew about drugs, but also participated in the scheme. According to people working in Argentina, it is simply impossible to bring to school and hide 12 suitcases without the permission of high-ranking officials of the diplomatic mission.

Cocaine delivery channels from Argentina FSB monitors since 2012. As it turned out, Abyanov sent Kovalchuk's suitcases under the guise of a diplomatic mail more than once. For each suitcase, he received 1 thousand dollars. Abyanov did not know about the presence of cocaine. Kovalchku said that in the suitcases gifts, expensive wine, high-end coffee. However, he asked me to pack the cargo as a pouch.

However, these are the lower levels of the criminal chain. Until March 1, the organizer of the criminal channel - Andrey Kovalchuk, who lives in Germany and is engaged in the sale of very expensive products - caviar, coffee, alcohol. There are reports that he was able to transport cocaine from Uruguay to Russia twice. On March 1, he was arrested by the German police at the request of Moscow, but his detention is a misunderstanding. Kovalchuk worked as a sales representative for several trading companies. However, one of the owners of the companies Konstantin Loskutnikov (also Baron Konstantin von Bossner) "refused" such a representative, he and Kovalchuk, allegedly a colonel and head of special services, who supervises embassies and consulates in Europe, Asia and Latin America, was represented by a top manager " Gazprom Germany ». Journalists of the present edition write that Andrei Kovalchuk was an employee of the security department of the Foreign Ministry, that is, not a diplomat, but a descendant of special services. The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova assures that Kovalchuk has never worked in the Foreign Ministry.

Kovalchuk himself says that in the suitcases, except for wine, coffee and semiprecious stones, there was nothing.

The substitution was carried out by Abyanov. He claims that what happened is a provocation by the US special services to discredit the diplomatic mission of Russia. All his things he had previously taken out of Argentina by airplane chartered in Uzbekistan, but he could not remove his suitcases. Until mid-April, Kovalchuk will be in the prison of Berlin, and then after the provision of the required documents was extracted into Russia. However, Kovalchuk does not want to be in Russia.
