Paninsky district court sentenced 18 members of a criminal group that helped foreigners to obtain a residence permit in Russia through fictitious marriages
The Paninsky district court sentenced 18 members of a criminal group that helped foreigners obtain a residence permit in Russia through fictitious marriages. The defendants were found guilty of organizing illegal migration. This was reported in the joint press service of the courts of the Voronezh region.
Según los materiales del caso, el organizador del grupo, junto con dos asistentes y otros participantes, emitió matrimonios ficticios para ciudadanos extranjeros y apátridas. This scheme allowed migrants to obtain documents to legalize their stay in the country. Por sus servicios, el líder del grupo recibió una recompensa monetaria.
Ninguno de los acusados se declaró culpable. El tribunal nombró al organizador 3 años y 6 meses de prisión en una colonia de régimen general, así como una multa de 400 mil rublos.
Dos de sus asistentes más cercanos recibieron 2 años y 6 meses de prisión y multas de 300 mil rublos. Además, después de la liberación de cada uno de ellos servirá un año de restricción de la libertad.
The remaining 15 defendants were sentenced to two years in prison and fines of 300 thousand rubles.
The actions of the convicts were qualified under paragraph "a" of part 2 of Article 322.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for responsibility for organizing illegal migration by a group of persons by prior conspiracy or an organized group.
La sentencia aún no ha entrado en vigor. Las partes podrán apelar la decisión judicial.
