Everything was done with the necessary documents (vet. certificates and permits from Rosselkhoznadzor). They brought monkeys from Vietnam. About 300 individuals were imported, for which they paid 8.5 million rubles.
A recent check showed that monkeys were not used as live exhibits, but as material for illegal experiments.
