During the preliminary investigation, it turned out that the group of illegal immigrants was helped by an “assistant” from the Russian side.
In Finland, for the second day in a row, illegal immigrants crossed the state border from Russia outside checkpoints, which remain closed until mid-February. Yle wrote this on Friday, January 12.
It was noted that on January 11, Finnish border guards detained 11 asylum seekers from Iran who crossed the border between Nuijamaa and Jouseno on the Karelian Isthmus. The men came as a group and sought asylum together.
In a conversation with the migrants, it was learned about an “assistant” on the Russian side who helped them cross the border. Specific details about this person are not yet known.
The Border Guard Service said it contacted the Russian side and held a meeting to fully clarify the details of the incident.
The previous such incident happened on January 10. Then, four asylum seekers crossed the Russian-Finnish border without being detected. Border guards learned about them from local residents, whose migrants knocked on their windows.
As is known, until this time, asylum seekers arrived at the Finnish border only through the checkpoint by bicycle, until Finland decided to close the checkpoints.
Prime Minister Petteri Orpota said that Russia is conducting a hybrid attack on the border against Finland.
