      The reason for long queues at the REO of the State Traffic Inspectorate in Yekaterinburg has been revealed

      January 15, 2026. The cause of the huge queues for vehicle registration at the State Traffic Inspectorate in Yekaterinburg may be resellers of appointment tickets. This was reported by a source from the EAN agency in law enforcement.

      A huge queue for obtaining registration plates formed at the State Traffic Inspectorate branch on Voditelsky Street, 20. Moreover, after standing in line, car owners could only obtain a ticket for an appointment scheduled for the next day, writes EAN.

      Surveillance cameras installed on the building recorded that the same people are constantly present in the parking lot, who, the source suggested, are probably engaged in reselling appointment tickets.

      Drivers who have repeatedly encountered resellers say the same. They believe that an ethnic group made up of Yazidis is behind this. How and from whom they obtain the appointment tickets is unknown, EAN notes.

      Resellers take the tickets and then resell them at inflated prices. In addition, by “sweeping up” all available tickets in the first minutes after opening, they create chaos and system failures, making it impossible for others to receive the service (while at the same time securing clients for themselves). The tickets can also be used by these resellers for their own purposes — re-registering a vehicle and then reselling it with a “clean” history or with “nice” license plates.

      Thus, an artificial shortage and frenzy are created.
