In Sochi 76-year-old pensioner faces five years in prison for registration of migrants

In the Khostinsky district, a 76-year-old local resident became involved in a criminal case after registering three foreign citizens in her apartment. According to the police, in fact, the pensioner was not going to provide immigrants with housing.

The violation was revealed by district commissioners during the inspection of compliance with migration legislation.

وكما حدده موظفو إنفاذ القانون، سجلت المرأة ثلاثة مواطنين من البلدان المجاورة في عنوان شقتها في شارع جان فابريسيوس. At the same time, the owner did not intend to place registered foreigners in the residential premises.

ومن ثم، ووفقاً للشرطة، فإن المعلومات المتعلقة بمكان إقامة الأجانب لا تتطابق مع الواقع. فالتسجيل المزيف يحول دون مراقبة الهجرة، لأن المواطنين رسمياً مدرجون في عنوان لا يعيشون فيه فعلاً.

وفتحت قضية جنائية على الوقائع المكتشفة. The maximum penalty for a relevant violation of immigration law is five years in prison.

The Department of Internal Affairs of Sochi reminded that criminal liability for fictitious registration can occur even when registering one foreign citizen, if the owner initially did not intend to provide him with housing.
