In the Perm Territory, a college employee has been arrested on charges of organizing the illegal stay of foreign citizens in Russia. According to investigators, the 46-year-old teacher entered false information into the educational institution's official documents regarding at least 5 foreign students between 2021 and 2025.
It was determined that these foreign citizens did not attend classes, did not complete internships, and did not take exams. Despite this, their documents showed successful grades and indicated that they were continuing their studies. In reality, these individuals should have been expelled and stripped of their right to stay legally on Russian territory.
The Investigative Committee of Russia has initiated a criminal case regarding this incident under Part 3 of Article 322.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Searches were conducted at the suspect's residence and at the college, resulting in the seizure of documents and electronic storage media as evidence.
Currently, law enforcement agencies are continuing investigative actions to identify other individuals involved in this illegal scheme. By court order, the accused has been placed in a pre-trial detention center.
