In Yekaterinburg, security forces raided an apartment and forced everyone to lie on the floor.
Suspects accused of assisting illegal migrants were detained in Yekaterinburg. Members of the group made money from foreigners who had come to Russia and did not want to complete paperwork. FSB operatives, police officers and Rosgvardiya fighters took part in the operation.
— Two Yekaterinburg residents organized, from December 2020 to May 2024, the illegal stay in Russia of citizens from countries of the Central Asian region, — the UFSB for Sverdlovsk Oblast reported.
The fraudsters forged fake employment contracts in the name of legal entities. This allowed migrants to extend their period of legal stay in the Russian Federation and to arrange fictitious registrations at their places of residence.
— Searches were carried out at the suspects’ homes and workplaces, documents and stamp impressions evidencing violations were seized, equipment was confiscated, and lists of previously legalized foreign citizens were found, — the UFSB said.
Police have opened a criminal case under the article “Organization of illegal migration by a group of persons by prior conspiracy.”
— This provides for imprisonment for up to 10 years with a fine of up to one million rubles, — added Valery Gorelykh, press secretary of the Main Directorate of the Russian Interior Ministry for Sverdlovsk Oblast.
Earlier, several thousand migrants in Sverdlovsk Oblast were legalized by a decree from Putin.
