Specialists of the State Ecological Inspectorate of the Southwestern District have calculated the damage caused by the seizure of 6.6 hectares of land by a resident of the Liubopil community.

This was reported by the press service of the Inspectorate.

Inspectorate specialists were involved in criminal proceedings regarding the unauthorized occupation of a land plot of more than 6.6 hectares within the Lyubopil community in Odesa region. They had to calculate the damage caused by the illegal use of the land plot without title documents.

According to the results of the calculation, the state suffered losses of more than UAH 65 thousand.

In connection with the closure of the criminal proceedings, the offender was brought to justice under Article 53-1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and claimed compensation.

Earlier, the Tarutino District Court of Odesa Region found a Sarata native guilty of illegal appropriation of the surface layer of water fund lands on a particularly large scale and fined him UAH 17,000.

The man illegally dug a pond near the Chiliguider River and filled it with its waters. The area where the pond was set up belongs to the water fund. According to the State Ecological Inspectorate, the man removed the soil layer on a 0.1782-hectare plot, removing more than 6.3 thousand cubic meters of land.

In April, a resident of the Stryukivska community in the Berezivskyi district of Odesa region was served a notice of suspicion of illegal appropriation of the surface (soil) layer of water fund lands on a particularly large scale. While establishing the circumstances of the incident, officers of the territorial police unit found out that a 44-year-old local resident was involved. Without any permits, he dug a lake on the water fund lands owned by the community to breed fish for his own needs.
