There could be no more than 290 thousand illegal work migrants in Moscow, suggests the head of Moscow department of Federal Migration Service Fyodor Karpovets. He told the Service has data about 521 thousand of foreigners who entered Russia to work in Moscow. Only 231 thousand people have got the legal permission to work.
‘It means 290 thousand of people staying in Moscow legally may work here illegally,’ added Fyodor Karpovets.
On July 27 and 28 the police and Federal Migration Service have discovered three camps of illegal immigrants in three different areas of Moscow. About three hundred people were detained.
