The judge denied the motion of censure and continued the case

In Odesa, judge Oleg Tsyselskyi was suspected of delaying the corrupt case regarding the construction of a sandbank on the coast of the Tuzlivski Lymani National Nature Park.

"Dilky" started building a three-story house and a pier on the protected coast 8 years ago, and currently they are building a special buna (transverse dam) in the sea so that it "does not take away" the beach, reports ecologist and biologist of the national park Ivan Rusev on Facebook.

He said that it was Judge Tsiselskyi who considered this case about 8 years ago. He "didn't listen" to the defenders of the coast and actually gave a "green light" to the thieves, led by the well-known Odesa businessman Valentin Mogilnikov.

It is noted that developers easily obtain ownership rights through black registrars.

Rusev emphasized that during the court session, Tsyselsky stopped the process for 1.5 hours and constantly reviewed the case materials, gave the floor to the lawyers of the developers and made remarks to the activists.

"He, as he did 8 years ago, spits on the laws of Ukraine, on the rule of law, with his decision, in fact, he once again gives the "green road" to the Mogilnikov clan for further destruction of unique territories of the national and international level, – the ecologist wrote. – According to our insider information, this judge, prior to judicial cases, was involved, as a lawyer, in the sale of valuable land plots on the Odesa coast."

Earlier, Rusev wrote that the representative of the National Park filed a motion of no confidence in the court at the beginning of the court session, citing the fact that this case was already considered by Tsyselsky 7 years ago and thanks to him, in fact, the illegal construction continues. The judge denied the motion of censure and continued the case.

As EcoPolitic reported before, the director of the Shatskyi National Nature Park in Volyn, Maria Khristetska, is suspected of hiring eight "dead souls", that is, employees who were listed only on paper. She is also suspected of organizing a criminal group of several employees, for which women faces up to 12 years in prison.
