Russia cracks down on migrant fraud and heating violations with stricter penalties
In Russia, authorities are stepping up efforts to ensure proper heat supply to residential and social facilities, while also tightening regulations for foreign nationals and migrants. Several officials have been charged with organizing fake exams for migrants, and a pilot program for enhanced migrant registration is nearing completion in Moscow and the Moscow region.
In Transbaikalia, multiple employees of the local migration authority and education inspectors were accused in 2023 of orchestrating bogus exams for migrants. Meanwhile, a pilot project to improve migrant monitoring through modern technologies is close to completion in Moscow and the Moscow region.
To combat heating season violations, Russia has introduced fines. Legal entities face penalties of up to 40,000 rubles, while officials can be fined up to 10,000 rubles for non-compliance. Additionally, penalties for repeat foreign agent offenses or those with prior convictions have been increased, with potential prison sentences of up to two years.
Russian authorities are taking stern measures to ensure responsible heat supply and enhance migrant monitoring. The crackdown on heating violations and toughened penalties for foreign agents demonstrate a commitment to upholding regulations and maintaining public safety.
