SAN LUIS POTOSÍ, Mexico.- Russian authorities decided to deport ten Cuban tourists for working illegally in the city of Kazan, according to local press.
The people were detained by the Ministry of the Interior during a raid on a perfume warehouse located in the Rodina market in that city, the media said. KazanFirst. The Cubans tried to justify that they were tourists and had gone to the market to make some purchases, but an investigation was initiated against them and it was shown that they were working there without permission.
The Soviet District Court of Kazan decided to expel the tourists for illegally carrying out labor activities.
According to the press, there were “five married couples” who were detained and taken to police department number 15 “Tankodrom”. Protocols were drawn up against all of them for violation of the rules of stay and illegal work activities and they were subsequently taken to court.
The Cubans claimed that they arrived in Russia no more than three weeks ago to “see the beauty of Tatarstan.” Although the laws allow Caribbean people to stay legally in the Slavic nation without an entry document, the police did not believe them because they were intercepted in a warehouse and “not in a sales area.”
After the decision to deport them, the Cubans were separated and the women were transferred to the Temporary Detention Center in Naberezhnye Chelny. The men, for their part, were detained in a special center in Kazan for administrative detention and then transferred to Chelny.
As soon as the court ruling comes into force, they will be taken by air to Cuba.
“They have the opportunity to appeal the decision of the Kazan Soviet District Court within a few days. They can write a complaint and try to challenge the decision,” lawyer Linara Generalova told KazanFirst.
Starting April 19, the Ministry of the Interior, the Federal Security Service (FSB) and the National Guard have stepped up operations in Tatarstan to counter illegal migration and illegal labor activities of foreign citizens in Russia. More than 300 foreigners were arrested for working without permission.
The women were sentenced to an administrative fine of between 2,000 and 3,000 rubles and three of them were subject to forcible expulsion from the Russian Federation.
Several Cubans have recently been deported to Russia, after the Slavic country began a crusade against foreigners in an irregular condition as a result of the terrorist attack against the shopping center in Moscow.
The press service of the judicial system of the Tula region reports on administrative cases against some who entered Russia in 2021, and since then remained illegally in the country.
