The FSB detected a significant scheme for the legalization of foreign citizens in Russia, based on false employment relationships with salaries in the amount of 250 thousand rubles. In four areas, 23 people were arrested, including the heads of commercial organizations, which, according to the case materials, registered immigrants as highly skilled experts. The documents for the immigrants indicated a salary of 250 thousand rubles, while in fact they only received about 60 thousand rubles. This allowed them to enjoy the immigration benefits provided by law. During the investigation, property of one of the companies was seized in the amount of 141 million rubles. The detected program points to a potential abuse of a system for attracting foreign experts, which is designed to provide the Russian economy with qualified personnel.
