Moscow, 18 April: The law enforcement agencies are confiscating documents from the organization Internews, whose office is located at the Central House of Journalists, head of Internews Manana Aslamazyan told Interfax today.

"Financial documents are being confiscated in connection with my personal criminal case that concerns a violation of the customs regulations," said Aslamazyan.

Earlier, media reported that Aslamazyan was detained at the airport in Moscow by customs officials, who discovered she had around 9,000 undeclared euros, which exceeds the amount an individual may bring into the country without completing a declaration.

Asked to comment on what had happened, Aslamazyan said: "I don't really understand how my personal criminal case is connected to the activity of an organization which has been working for many years, is well-known, and whose accounts and financial operations are absolutely transparent, and haven't received a single kopeck of dubious money".

The law enforcement agencies have not yet commented on this information to Interfax.

Internews is involved in various humanitarian projects in the area of electronic mass media.
