OREANDA-NEWS  Two people were detained in Crimea for organizing illegal migration. This is reported by RIA Novosti.

According to the agency, they are a 35-year-old foreign citizen and a 28-year-old Russian woman who previously processed migration documents. The man was looking for foreigners who needed registration. Then, for a fee, he and his accomplice made a fictitious registration in the village of Novonikolayevka, and also issued patents for their work.

A criminal case has been opened under Article 322.1 ("Organization of illegal stay of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation, committed by a group of persons by prior agreement") of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Earlier it was reported that a large-scale operation against migrants took place in Russia. Several thousand foreigners will be expelled from one region.
