The investigation into a criminal case against a resident of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug in Russia has been completed. She is accused of organizing illegal migration and the fictitious registration of foreigners.

According to the prosecutor’s office of Yugra, the accused involved two of her acquaintances in the illegal scheme — an employee who handled the processing of migration documents and a worker from the Multifunctional Center (MFC). From 2018 to 2024, they entered into fictitious employment contracts, registered foreign citizens at fictitious addresses, and illegally placed them on migration records. For their services, the members of the criminal group received money from clients. In total, they managed to earn about 2.5 million rubles.

“A significant volume of investigative and procedural actions has been carried out in the criminal case: more than 150 individuals have been interrogated, searches have been conducted at the addresses of fictitious registration of foreign citizens, and handwriting examinations have been performed. The volume of the criminal case amounts to about 60 volumes,” the Investigative Committee of Yugra noted.

It is noted that the accused has dual citizenship. However, it is unclear which country’s citizenship she holds in addition to Russian citizenship.

The criminal case has now been sent to court. The investigation into the accomplices of the accused is still ongoing.
