The FSB of the Russian Federation eliminated a center for legalization of illegal migrants

In Moscow, law enforcement officers destroyed a major center for legalizing illegal migrants

As reported by TUT.AZ, the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Irina Volk, announced this in her Telegram channel.

According to the investigation, the perpetrators organized a special channel in one of the messengers, where they offered services for producing fictitious documents to illegally confirm the legal status of migrants on Russian territory. Counterfeit documents were delivered to clients both through courier delivery and during personal meetings. As a result of a joint special operation by the FSB, Russian National Guard, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 16 foreign citizens involved in this illegal activity were detained.

During searches at the suspects' residences and at a cafe that served as a cover for the illegal business, law enforcement officers discovered and seized bank cards, mobile phones, office equipment, blank migration document forms, as well as seals with imprints of territorial divisions of the migration service. In addition, law enforcement agencies managed to eliminate two underground facilities for producing counterfeit documents.
