In the Astrakhan region, biometrics helped to uncover the deception of an illegal migrant
The violation was revealed by employees of the regional Department for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the second stage of the federal operational and preventive operation “Illegal – 2026”.
In the Astrakhan region, police found a foreign citizen who was illegally in Russia, worked without the necessary documents and tried to hide his real identity. The inspection took place as part of a raid on household service facilities.
In one of the popular barbershops of Astrakhan, law enforcement officers found a young man who worked without appropriate permits. During the check, he said that he was a citizen of Russia, but the passport allegedly left at home. To confirm his words, the man called fictitious personal data, told about the place of study and explained the circumstances under which he changed his passport after reaching the age of 20.
However, verification of the said surname, first name and patronymic on a single electronic database showed that there is no person with such data. After that, the man tried to explain the discrepancy with the version about the name change. At the same time, he did not take into account that the state registration of a name change is carried out by the registry office bodies, and not by the units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It was possible to establish the real identity of the man using the biometric system "Papilon Filter", which allows you to identify a person by fingerprints. It turned out that the detainee is 25 years old and he is a citizen of a foreign state. At the same time, the man violated the rules of stay in Russia.
In respect of a foreigner, administrative materials were drawn up under part 1.1 of Article 18.8 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation for violation of the regime of stay in the Russian Federation, as well as under part 1 of Article 18.10 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation for illegal employment by a foreign citizen.
Before the execution of the decision on forced expulsion from the country, the man was placed in the Center for Temporary Detention of Foreign Citizens.
Responsibility is also provided for the employer. In relation to the owner of the barbershop, administrative material was drawn up under part 3 of Article 18.15 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation for illegally attracting a foreign citizen to work in Russia. For violation of migration legislation, the owner of the institution faces a large administrative fine.
