‼ FSB arrested more than 20 people in connection with illegal immigration and embezzlement of the state's defense procurement funds. The criminal scheme operated in four regions of Russia at the same time: Perm Krai, Rostov Region, Novgorod Region and Ivanovo Region. According to the FSB, the management of a garment factory in the Rostov region, together with other companies, organized an illegal migration channel under the guise of attracting qualified foreign specialists. Shell companies are used to process the documents. The reports indicated that the workers were paid 250,000 rubles per month, although their actual salary was about 60,000 rubles, and their skills did not match this. This allowed program participants to inflate the cost of filling the country's defense contract. More than 20 accused have been arrested. Criminal cases were opened as part of articles on fraud, money laundering, organizing a criminal community and other charges. Caravans: |.
