According to Russian media citing the main department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the police conducted a preventive raid in the city center “for the safety of people, to avoid crowding and possible incidents.” It was reported that as a result of the event, 1960 people were taken to various police stations.
“As a result of the inspection, numerous violations of migration legislation were identified, and administrative measures were taken,” the police said.
It is still unknown whether citizens of Tajikistan were detained. Typically, the police in Russia conduct “preventive raids” and detain dozens of migrants “for safety reasons,” but in such cases, most migrants can bribe their way out by paying certain amounts.
