“Federal Migration Service officers, accompanied by the Federal Security Services and local policemen, were performing a routine check of a food storage facility. As usual, they were unarmed. But when they detected eight illegal immigrants, the security personnel at the facility tried to prevent the officers from continuing their work."

According to Poltoranin, they were locked in one of the hangars and even threatened to be locked inside one of the refrigerator facilities.

"Arriving on the scene, police backup also faced resistance. Later, all the officers were released. Currently, an investigation team is working at the scene. It will determine later whether any charges will be brought against the security company or the facility’s owner. All the illegal immigrants have been taken to a local police station,” Poltoranin said.
