In Nizhny Novgorod stopped fictitious employment of 91 migrants

In the Nizhny Novgorod region, the police stopped the scheme of fictitious employment of migrants. This was reported in the regional GU MIA.

According to the investigation, a 36-year-old citizen of one of the neighboring countries posted online ads for assistance in finding employment for migrants. When he was approached, his 39-year-old partner entered into fictitious contracts with foreigners - the work was listed, but in fact not performed. He acted on behalf of a friend of an individual entrepreneur, and the relevant notifications were sent to the GU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

In total, the defendants thus “employed” 91 migrants: foreigners received the right to extend the period of stay in the country, patents, residence permits and even grounds for acquiring Russian citizenship. For services, accomplices took from 3 thousand to 8 thousand rubles.

A criminal case has been opened, the defendants face up to ten years in prison, now they are detained.
