In the Lviv region, the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) exposed several officials from the forest farm who earned from the appropriation and sale of high-grade wood in wartime conditions.
Violators entered unreliable data into reporting documentation regarding the number of fellings and the grade of wood, reports the SSU department in Lviv region on Facebook.
"Logging was carried out in the most attractive parts of allotments without appropriate documentation and registration, and in general, their activity was veiled as if it was for the needs of the army,'' the report says.
One of the participants in the proceedings was detained by law enforcement officers during the sale of a batch of business grade wood.
SSU operatives worked together with National Police investigators under the procedural guidance of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office to investigate the case.
The official was informed of the suspicion under Art. 191 (appropriation, waste of property or taking possession of it by abusing official position) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in the Lviv region, law enforcement officers detained the director of one of the state-owned forestry enterprises while receiving a bribe in the amount of 9 thousand UAH.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, in Kyiv, an official was informed of the suspicion of an attempt on taking over a part of the children's camp in Pushcha-Vodytsia with an area of 4 hectares and a cost of UAH 27 million.
