Security Forces Carried Out Mass Raids Against Illegal Migrants Involved In Business Activities In Saint Petersburg

On May 29-30, Russian police carried out mass raids against illegal migrants involved in buisness activities (mostly local merchants) in Saint Petersburg, according to reports in Russina media.

Over 200 administrative cases invoving  citizens of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan have been reportedly opened in Saint Petersburg’s courts. Most cases are linked with the violation of the rules of entry to the Russian Federation or the rules of residency.

The raids followed a stabbing incident in one of the city’s coffeehouses on May 20 when 4 Tajik citizens were wounded.

Some reports link the raids with the recently increased activity of radical Islamist groups and organized crime groups within legal and illegal migrants from Central Asian states.

Earlier, SouthFront reported that terrorists are infiltrating the Commonwealth of Independent States, including Russia, incorporating with organized crime, creating clandestine cells and ideologizing and recruiting new supporters, chiefly the socially handicapped youth and migrants, training them to carry out terrorist activities. Radical groups use contributions from business activities carried out by labor migrants from Central Asia in major cities of the Russian Federation both legally and illegally to expand own resource base.

Legal and illegal businessmen of the Central Asian origin often assist (directly and indirectly) to their fellow-countrymen involved in activities of radical Islamist groups.

The recent raids against illegal migrants and their buisness in Saint Petersburg may indicate that security forces have started dealing with this threat actively.

let us hope so, someone has to have the backbone to assert that a country is of its citizens well, as long as you are white, rich, intelligent, educated, you know – exceptional
