In Bishkek, employees of the Department for Combating Extremism and Illegal Migration of the City Police Department conducted an operation called "Illegal," aimed at identifying and preventing violations of migration legislation.
The raid covered sewing workshops and other production facilities where foreign workers may be employed.
As a result of the checks, 64 foreigners were brought to the police. It was established that they arrived in Kyrgyzstan on visas issued by one organization, but were actually working for other companies, which is a violation of migration legislation.
Cases of illegal recruitment of foreign labor were also discovered. Administrative protocols were drawn up against three employers under Article 93 of the Code of Offenses of the Kyrgyz Republic, with a total fine amounting to 65,000 soms.
