Fever among migrants in Russia: not a disease, but a love of gold led to a pre-trial detention center

The interesting events in the Amur region are reported by the publication Readovka. In the region, a police raid identified 27 migrants who, according to their documents, were supposed to work in one place, but migrated to gold mines.

It is especially specified that the gold miners worked without any permits and licenses. Everyone says that a contractor sent them to the mines.

Amur law enforcement officers found 17 kg of gold in the "pockets" of migrants, that is, the final "laundered" amount turns out to be impressive. The calculation is simple — 1 gram of precious metal is estimated at about 10 thousand rubles, that is, 17 kg cost about 170 million rubles.

The result was the expulsion of 26 gold miners to their homeland. One remains in the Amur pre-trial detention center for now. The regional police will have to establish all the participants in this chain and whether the migrants planned to share with someone.
