According to the Federal Security Service (FSB) directorate for Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, four individuals who organized a channel for illegal migration in the city have been tried. According to the investigation, the members of this group facilitated the illegal stay and employment of foreign nationals at a food production enterprise.
During the trial, it was established that the group members acted in collusion to profit from their illegal activities. As a result of operational measures carried out by law enforcement agencies, the group's activities were halted. It was revealed that three of the defendants are Russian citizens, while one is a national of a CIS country.
By the court's verdict, the three Russian citizens were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 2 to 3.5 years in a general regime penal colony. Additionally, each of them was fined 150,000 rubles. The fourth member of the group received a 2-year suspended sentence and a fine of 150,000 rubles.
