In Yekaterinburg, police identified fish processing workshops where illegal migrants were working. A total of 42 foreign nationals were detained, 12 of whom were expelled from Russia.
On May 31, officers from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Yekaterinburg, along with representatives from the Migration Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk Region, inspected an enterprise located in the area of the Novosverdlovsk Thermal Power Plant. Support was provided by officers from the Special Rapid Response Unit and the OMON of the National Guard.
In the industrial zone of the Kirovsky district, police discovered two workshops for processing and packaging fish products. In these premises, migrants were thawing, cleaning, and packaging fish. Some of the workers lived on-site in nearby trailers, while others resided in the technical room of a neighboring building.
— During the inspection, it turned out that almost none of the foreigners found here spoke Russian or had documents. Their passports, as well as other documentation, were found in the room where the "foreman" lived. The 28-year-old migrant occupied a separate room that served as both his living space and office, the press group of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Yekaterinburg reported.
All migrants were taken to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Yekaterinburg, where police interviewed them and checked for compliance with migration legislation. It was found that 12 foreigners were illegally in the territory of the Russian Federation. All of them were expelled from the territory of the Russian Federation. The others received administrative fines for working without the necessary documents. Police are identifying the owners of the enterprise, as well as those who employed the illegal migrants.
Earlier, it was reported that law enforcement conducted a raid on restaurants in Yekaterinburg to identify draft evaders.
