A number of 40 foreign citizens have been discovered to be illegally staying in Romania, the General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI) informed in a press release sent to AGERPRES on Friday.
The immigration policemen took steps to take 10 foreign citizens under custody until they will be expelled from Romanian territory.
The foreign citizens were imposed 21 sanctions by the policemen for breaking laws in the migration field.
The immigration policemen received more than 200 requests for approvals for the employment of foreigners, most of them for permanent or temporarily transferred workers.
Three companies were also fined for breaking provisions in the labour field, said IGI.
There have also been recorded five requests for asylum and other seven persons were granted international protection. The authorities denied 11 asylum requests for international protection.
