Moscow- The police will check the 1,400 illegals on Wednesday for involvement in crimes committed in Moscow and will deport them after that, the press service for the Interior Ministry's Main Department for Moscow told Interfax.

“Most detainees do not have documents with them. They will be deported after identification,” the press service said.

The migrants have now been placed in a temporary camp, the source said. They will be checked for involvement in crimes committed in Moscow and will be fingerprinted, it said.

In a recent large-scale special operation, the Moscow police detained over 1,000 citizens of Vietnam and some other countries, who illegally lived in Moscow,

“A total of 1,200 citizens of Vietnam, who were illegally living in Russia, were detained in a warehouse in Irtyshsky Proyezd,” the press service reported.

The Main Investigations Department of the Interior Ministry’s Main Department for Moscow has opened a criminal case based on the articles dealing with the organization of a criminal community and organization of illegal migration against eight people from Iraq, Syria, Vietnam, and Azerbaijan.

“These citizens are suspected of organizing illegal migration and stay of foreigners on the territory of the Russian Federation,” the press service said.

The citizens of Vietnam detained on Wednesday sewed clothed under famous brands. The warehouse where they lived turned out to contain twenty workshops, which had 800 workplaces, where the workers lived with their families, including pregnant women and babies, in unsanitary conditions. A woman in critical condition with a stab wound, who was not getting any qualified assistance, was found in one of the rooms

A similar workshop, where some 200 citizens of Egypt, Morocco, Syria, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan, lived, was later found on Sovetskaya Ulitsa. Some detainees were in possession of unregistered traumatic weapons and firearms. The searches yielded forged passports of citizens of Vietnam and “black accounting” documents.

The special operation was directed personally by Anatoly Yakunin, the head of the Interior Ministry’s Department for Moscow. The operation involved over 900 police officers and eighty members of the militia, who worked according to one plan.
