Three foreigners who had committed particularly serious crimes were deported from the Russian Federation

Employees of the Department of Migration Affairs together with employees of the Interior Ministry's department in the city of Artem deported three citizens of Uzbekistan born in 1960, 1972 and 1990, who had committed serious crimes, from Russia. About it reported in Telegram-channel press-service of the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Primorsky Krai.

"After the expiration of the terms of the sentence imposed by the courts (from 8 to 10.8 years), in accordance with the Federal Law № 114 of 15.08.1996 their further stay on the territory of Russia was considered undesirable. Therefore, the men were taken to the Center for Temporary Detention of Foreign Citizens, where they were waiting for their turn for deportation," the agency said.

It is specified that the deportees had previously served sentences in correctional labor institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service for committing crimes under Part 4 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Intentional infliction of serious harm to health, resulting in the death of the victim"), Part 4 of Article 228.1 ("Illegal production, sale or transfer of narcotic drugs") and Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Murder").

Prior to deportation, the expellees were declared not allowed to enter the Russian Federation for a period of five to eight years.

He emphasized that it is those migrants who arrived in the country illegally and create risks of spreading crime that create the problem. Peskov added that Russia needs migrants for dynamic development.

On November 7, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian authorities should primarily proceed from the interests of Russians when it comes to attracting migrants. The head of state emphasized that foreigners who came to Russia would not face rejection from the citizens if they know Russian traditions well, observe the law and speak Russian.
