Escape from a workhouse in the Moscow region reveals an underground network

The escape of a slave from a workhouse in the Moscow region revealed an underground network. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs provided Lenta.ru with an operational video.

The footage shows the storming of a three-story cottage by special forces soldiers, where people who found themselves in difficult life situations were illegally detained.

The workhouse is located in Ramenskoye. Five people were detained: organizers, managers and a recruiter. Four were taken into custody, the fifth was under house arrest.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they rented a cottage, equipped the premises with CCTV cameras and surrounded the area with a high fence. Under threat of guns and stun guns, prisoners were forced to work for beds and food, their documents and phones were taken away, without official registration at various commercial sites. Their work was paid minimally, and the suspects took the main profits for themselves. They may be involved in organizing an entire network of workhouses in the Moscow region.
