Poland eliminates criminal group

illegal documents for EU immigrants were being transferred

In Poland, in the framework of operations against illegal immigration and money laundering, a criminal group engaged in the illegal legalization of foreign citizens in the European Union was exposed and eliminated. The organizers issued fake documents that allowed bypassing checkpoints and obtaining the status of legal residence. The police said the group had been operating for several years, but thanks to enhanced monitoring of migration flows and cooperation with international law enforcement structures, they were able to detect their activities. Speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, officials assured that in the future they would strengthen measures to identify and prevent such schemes in order to ensure border security and compliance with EU legislation.

Context

Similar schemes had also been observed in Poland before, but they usually went unnoticed due to weak coordination between agencies.

Summary:

Poland dismantled a network involved in illegal regularization of foreigners in the EU, strengthening control over migration flows.
