Similar attempts to deliver phones and other prohibited items to correctional institutions are regularly recorded. The penal system staff takes all necessary measures to prevent such attempts.
The Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia's press service confirmed the discovery of the prohibited items. No further information was provided about the source or intended recipient of the prohibited items, but such investigations typically aim to uncover this information.
