After searches, three Crimean Tatars ended up in Center “E”

The first deputy chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, Nariman Dzhelyalov , said on his Facebook page that the morning searches on May 26 in the homes of Crimean Tatars may be related to the authorities' fight against illegal immigration.

The searches were carried out at the homes of three friends running a common business: Timur Osmanov, Khaiser Khalilov and Artur Khaltaev. They are allegedly suspected of using the labor of illegal immigrants. However, after the searches, all three were taken to the local CPE (Center for Combating Extremism), where they are still. According to the police, no investigative actions other than fingerprinting have yet been carried out. Lawyers are not allowed into the building.
