Suspects of organizing illegal migration have been detained in Krasnoyarsk. This was announced on June 26 by the press service of the Investigative Committee of Russia.

According to the investigation, in January 2022, two local residents and an employee of the IFC organized an illegal migration channel. The defendants made fake employment contracts, looked for apartments for rent, where they then fictitiously registered migrants in secret from the landlord, and put foreign citizens on migration registration.

"For providing illegal services, accomplices received monetary compensation from foreigners in the amount of 1.5 to 3.5 thousand rubles. At the moment, about 1 thousand people have been identified who have received an illegal right to temporary stay in the territory of the city of Krasnoyarsk," the Telegram channel of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation says.

It is clarified that a criminal case has been opened against an employee of the MFC and two residents of Krasnoyarsk under paragraphs "a", "b", Part 2, art. 322.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Organization of illegal migration by a group of persons by prior agreement using official position").
