Igrifter enobuchule imisele eyakhe yabucala 'iRussia-Finlend umda 'kwaye wababiza abafuduki abane ngokungekho mthethweni amawaka e-euro, ebenza bakholelwe ukuba bawela umda waseRussia. Ngelishwa kubafuduki, babanjwa kwangoko ngoonogada bokwenyani bomda waseRussia umzuzwana nje emva kwexesha.
Esi sehlo senzekile kwiveki ephelileyo xa oonogada bemida babamba iqela labaphambukeli abane ngokungekho mthethweni abavela eMzantsi Asia kunye nesikhokelo sabo, ekwathiwa asingommi waseRussia. Inkonzo ye-Border ye-Russian Federal Security Service ityhile iinkcukacha zomcimbi obalaseleyo namhlanje.
Ngelixa bekujongeka njengelinge lokuwela umda ngokungekho mthethweni ekuqaleni, 'isikhokelo' sajika saba sisikhonkwane. Wadala umda wobuxoki waseRussia-waseFinnish kwenye indawo ehlathini kumhlaba waseRussia, emva koko wakhokela abathengi bakhe kuhambo olude ukuya kulo. 'Isikhokelo' sazama ukwenza uhambo lwasehlathini lubonakale njengelokuzama ukuwela umda ngokungekho mthethweni, kwaye lade lahamba ngephenyane elinokungena ngaphakathi, lisithi "linokufika ngokufanelekileyo."
I-conman yahlawulisa abafuduki kohambo-olwalusisiseko sokuhamba ehlathini-isixa esikhulu se- € 10,000 ($ 11,100). Isicwangciso sakhe yayikukushiya abathengi bakhe ehlathini, ebatshayela kwaye ebathumela kwicala laseFinland.
Ukophula umda kulityala eRashiya elinokubangela ukuya kuthi ga kwisithandathu seminyaka entolongweni. Nangona kunjalo, kuba akukho mda wokwenyani owaphulwe liqela, abafuduki baphume isohlwayo kwaye baya kugxothwa elizweni. I-conman ihleli elugcinweni kwaye ijongene nezityholo zobuqhetseba.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- He created a fake Russian-Finnish border somewhere in the forest on Russian soil, and then led his clients on a long hike to it.
- The conman charged the migrants for the journey – which was basically a walk in the forest – the hefty sum of €10,000 ($11,100).
- While it looked like an attempt to illegally cross the border at first, the ‘guide' turned out to be a conman.
