Police have completed an investigation into the case of a 23-year-old woman who owns a recreation center in the Pivdenivska community in Odesa Oblast.
According to the press service of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Odesa Oblast, she is accused of using a knowingly forged document and unauthorized construction of buildings on an illegally occupied land plot.
According to the investigation, the owner of a recreation center in the Pivdenivska community of Odesa district illegally took possession of a communal land plot. The woman decided to build another recreation center on it and, to implement her plan, submitted a deliberately forged technical passport for the property to the local government. The document stated that the building had allegedly existed on the site before 1991. Based on the false data, the defendant obtained a 49-year lease for the land without a land auction. After that, she built a one-story house with an area of more than 118 square meters, intended for vacationers.
According to the current legislation, the maximum penalty for these offenses is restraint of liberty for up to three years.
Earlier, investigators sent to court the case of a foreigner accused of unauthorized land seizure, illegal construction and forgery. During the pre-trial investigation, investigators found that the man, who owned an apartment in a residential building on Uspenskaya Street, decided to illegally expand his property.
The police also served a notice of suspicion to a 44-year-old resident of Odesa, who illegally expanded his possessions on a land plot belonging to the community. Having owned an apartment, the man, who had no permits for the land plot next to it, decided to illegally occupy it and carry out unauthorized construction there. He organized the reconstruction of his apartment, in particular, expanded his living space by adding a pantry, a room and a corridor, and built a separate outbuilding nearby. In this way, the Odesa resident illegally occupied a 74.4-square-meter land plot belonging to the city's territorial community for capital construction.
