Ekot’s review shows that a Ukrainian employment agency that has provided thousands of jobs for Ukrainians in various European countries has found a way to use the Swedish asylum system. Since you have the right to work during the asylum process in Sweden, the company offers its clients a false asylum history.
– They said that I would say that I was applying for asylum and then I received a story that I would tell the Swedish Immigration Board, says Nasarji. It also shows the fictitious asylum story that he claims to have received from the Ukrainian employment agency Pelekh.
Ekot has interviewed several people that he paid the equivalent of SEK 12,000 to the Pelekh employment agency to get a job in Sweden, but that in Sweden he is transferred to the Swedish Immigration Board and is asked to apply for asylum.
When Ekot calls one of Pelekh’s 18 offices in Ukraine and pretends to be looking for work, he also says so openly.
– You will receive an asylum report that you will learn by heart and report to the Swedish Immigration Board. But with a 99 percent certainty, you won’t get asylum, but while your case is being investigated, you will be allowed to work, that’s how it works, says the woman who answers the phone.
The echo has also been seen various written contracts with the Pelekh Agency.
The contract states that “Our attorneys handle refugee status for you.”
The contracts also include photographs of the arrival accommodation of the Swedish Migration Agency at Telefonplan, south of Stockholm, and those interviewed by Ekot say they have been transported to this particular accommodation.
Last year, 436 Ukrainians applied for asylum in this particular accommodation, which means that almost one in two people in the accommodation came from Ukraine and, according to those interviewed by Ekot, many have traveled to Sweden through the Pelekh Agency.
Some asylum seekers also sought out the Swedish Migration Agency and informed them about the Pelekh Agency, prompting the Swedish Migration Agency to conduct police reports.
– What has been reported to the Swedish Migration Agency is that they paid hundreds of euros to get transport, work and housing in Sweden and that upon arrival in Sweden it is our arrival accommodation for asylum seekers, says Lisa Hultin Knutas, National Coordinator against human trafficking in Sweden. The Swedish Migration Agency.
And what do you know about the scope?
– From the information we have received, we have come to the conclusion that these are organized tours to Sweden.
Ekot calls Pelekh’s office in Ukraine.
– I am the executive director, says Ljudmilla Khrastko, who says she can answer all questions, but when she understands that we are calling from the Swedish radio, she hangs up.
