Russian media, citing law enforcement agencies in Germany, reported that on August 7 of this year, a woman and two men, citizens of Iran, were detained near the border town of Frankfurt (Oder) while attempting to cross the border in cars with Polish license plates. It is reported that they are aged between 24 and 30 years and arrived in the countries with Russian visas.

Later in the same area, German police detained six men aged between 22 and 37 years, originally from Tajikistan and Iraq, who illegally crossed the border.

In connection with this incident, a 29-year-old man, a citizen of Georgia, was detained, and a preliminary investigation was initiated against him for the illegal importation of foreigners. Searches for another vehicle of the alleged smuggler were unsuccessful.

The detainees applied for asylum in Germany and were sent to the “Brandenburg” initial reception center for refugees.

No details about the Tajik nationals are provided. In recent months, there have been many reports of illegal border crossings by citizens of Tajikistan.
