The Security Service of Ukraine, in cooperation with the National Police, has uncovered and blocked a large-scale scheme for the illegal legalisation of foreigners in European Union countries as a result of a multi-stage special operation.

The criminals produced high-quality forged documents that allowed migrants to cross borders and stay in European countries without hindrance. These products included fake passports, residence permits, residence cards, driving licences, insurance policies, etc.

The suspects' clients were people from Russia, the Middle East, and other countries who were already in the EU and were trying to legalise their status there.

Since May 2025 alone, the perpetrators have sold counterfeit documents worth at least 17.8 million hryvnia.

More than 100 people were involved in the criminal scheme, with clearly defined roles and tasks.

During the special operation to apprehend the criminals, 12 simultaneous searches were conducted at their places of residence and work.

Seven key figures have been detained and charged with fraud committed on a particularly large scale or by an organised group.

They face up to twelve years in prison with confiscation of property.
