Eco-inspectors handed over the violation materials to law enforcement agencies in accordance with Article 214 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in the Lviv regionthe SSU exposed several officials from the forest farm, who earned on the appropriation and sale of high-grade wood in wartime conditions. Violators entered unreliable data in the reporting documentation regarding the number of fellings and the grade of wood.

As EcoPolitic previously reporte, in the Zaporizhzhia region, eco-inspectors found an illegal felling of trees in the field protection forest strip, which caused losses in the amount of more than 588 thousand hryvnias. Two "black lumberjacks" damaged 42 trees to the point of stopping their growth.
