In Zhytomyr region, the Korosten District Prosecutor's Office has opened a criminal investigation into the illegal construction of gazebos and cottages along the Uzh River.
During an audit of the Korosten community, the State Audit Service found 15 cases of violations of land and water legislation, the State Audit Service press service reports.
"Earlier, during a routine audit of the Korosten territorial community, auditors recorded numerous cases of violations of land and water legislation. Now we have been asked by the prosecutor's office for copies of the acts and audit findings to continue investigating the facts of unauthorized seizure of land and illegal construction in Korosten," said Alla Basalaeva, Head of the State Audit Service.
It is noted that the conclusions of the State Audit Service were confirmed by experts of the State Geocadastre.
The report said that 10 meters from the river is the Monaco guest house and the tourist infrastructure facilities of ONTARIO-2018 LLC. In addition, gazebos are located directly on the shore, on communal property.
The city council said that they did not grant permission for their installation.
