According to the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Novosibirsk region, police officers uncovered the submission of knowingly false information in her application to take part in the compatriots resettlement program. In particular, the Kyrgyz national submitted a forged secondary vocational education diploma, which was supposed to confirm her qualifications and knowledge of Russian.

Consequences of submitting a forged document

Following the discovery of the fake document, several decisions were taken regarding the woman. Her status as a participant in the state program was annulled, and a decision was issued rejecting her application for Russian citizenship.

  • A decision banning long-term entry into the Russian Federation
  • Reduction of her current permitted period of stay in Russia
  • An obligation to return in full the funds previously received to the federal budget

In addition, she will be required to return the money she previously received as state support measures. If she refuses to repay voluntarily, these funds will be recovered through court proceedings.
