Justice will decide today whether to expel the Russian citizen wanted by Interpol from the country

As part of the investigation into the arrival of pregnant russian women in Argentina to give birth to their children and thus obtain permanent residence, last Friday a man of the same nationality arrived in the country, identified as Valentin Kazantsev who is wanted by Interpol.

Yes OK migrations announced his immediate expulsion, the suspect filed a habeas corpus and continued in Argentina while waiting for a definition of justice that would arrive this Monday. Kazantsev’s deportation hearing was due to take place this Sunday but it was postponed until today due to lack of a translator.

Judicial sources specified GlobeLiveMedia that “a lawyer linked to previous presentations of pregnant Russian women requested that Kazantsev be allowed to enter for Humanitarian reasons”. And they added: “The fact is that I don’t want to go to war and he has already presented all the relevant arguments for them to be analyzed and taken into account.

Late Saturday, federal judge Luis Armelle decided that the Russian citizen I had to leave the country immediatelyyet the magistrate must be issued again in this regard.

Armella is the same judge who on Friday granted temporary entry into the country for four of the pregnant Russian women who filed writs of habeas corpus after being detained at the airport. That same night, 14 other pregnant women of the same nationality arrived and were accepted to enter Argentina.

It is not yet known if the 38-year-old Russian citizen is linked to illegal organizations that charge pregnant women $35,000 to give birth in Argentina and obtain false documents to obtain dual citizenship.

Consulted in this respect, the lawyer Christian Demian Rubilar Panasiuk -representing pregnant Russian women allowed to enter the country through habeas corpus- said Valentin Kazantsev “is not one” of the mafia organizations being investigated by the judiciary.

“He has his family here in Argentina. Here is his pregnant wife and son. As soon as they detained her in Ezeiza, she contacted her family in Russia, who immediately sent her all the documents proving that the passport presented to Migrations belonged to her. The authorities cannot in any case send him back to Moscow, even if they have doubts about the authenticity of his passport. In these cases, people are detained, not deported,” Rubilar Pansiuk explained to Infobase.

“Apparently Kazantsev lost his passport then he tracked him down, which is why his name was left with Interpol’s orange alert. You must understand that when you flee a country at war, you escape with what you have. In the situation you find yourself in, you could be traveling with an out-of-state role. The Palermo Treaty establishes that a victim cannot be criminally prosecuted and Article 32 of the Refugee Treaty establishes that they cannot be returned,” he said.

“What they are doing with this man is discriminatory. Migrations behave as if Argentina were a racial state where only those who meet certain racial requirements are allowed to pass,” the lawyer denounced.
