RUSSIA

The 13 Vladivostok customs officers who shot a racy R’n’B video satirising life in their office have been identified – but up to now they have not been fired.

Investigations have uncovered those responsible, RIA Novosti reported, and further questioning is underway to determine what punishments might be meted out.

But it seems likely that at least some will lose their jobs after a spokesman for the service said the reputation of the entire Russian customs service had been damaged.

Ironically some of the officers involved are currently on maternity leave: one of the running jokes of the original clip was about an office lothario who dated his way around his female colleagues.
