In connection with the export of cultural heritage objects belonging to the museums of the Republic of Crimea, and the subsequent decision of the Amsterdam appeal court on the transfer of the Scythian gold collection of the Scythian gold to Ukraine, the chairman of the IC of Russia instructed the head of the Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol Terentyev V.N. organize an audit on the fact of non -return of cultural values ​​belonging to the Republic of Crimea.

Alexander Ivanovich Bastrykin also instructed the Office of Legal Support and International Cooperation of the IC of Russia in collaboration with the Russian Foreign Ministry to assist in conducting verification measures and thoroughly study the situation.
