In Poland, law enforcement officers detained two Ukrainian citizens who transported 12 Russians without documents across the border by bus. All foreigners were deported from the country, and the organizers of the scheme were convicted.
This was reported by RMF24.
The detention took place on March 31 in the city of Sanok during a routine transport check on the border with Slovakia. Border guards stopped a bus carrying 12 Russian citizens, who were being transported by two Ukrainians.
During the inspection, it was established that none of the Russians had documents allowing them to cross the border or stay in Poland. It was also found that they had applied for residence in Hungary and were supposed to remain there without the right to leave.
After the scheme was uncovered, all Russian citizens admitted to illegally crossing the border. The court sentenced them to six months of suspended imprisonment with a two-year probation period, banned them from entering Schengen countries, and ordered their deportation — they have already left for Belarus.
The two Ukrainian citizens who organized the transportation and drove the bus were found guilty of organizing illegal border crossing. The court sentenced them to one year of suspended imprisonment with a two-year probation period.
