Administrative material was drawn up on it under article 18.8 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation (violation by a foreign citizen or stateless person of the rules of entering the Russian Federation or the regime of stay in the Russian Federation), which was sent for consideration to the court. The man faces an administrative fine of up to seven thousand rubles with administrative expulsion from the Russian Federation,” reads a statement released by the Moscow Police Directorate.
