The police served a notice of suspicion to a 44-year-old resident of Odesa who had illegally expanded his possessions on a land plot belonging to the community.
This was reported by the press service of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Odesa Oblast.
According to the investigation, the man, who owned an apartment and 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.
Investigators served the man a notice of suspicion of unauthorized construction of buildings and structures on an unauthorized land plot. The maximum penalty for this offense is up to three years in prison.
Investigators have filed a motion with the court to seize the suspect's real estate, including the one he illegally built. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
Earlier, the Odesa Regional Prosecutor's Office served a notice of suspicion to a man and two women of fraud on a large scale, legalization of the proceedings of crime, and forgery of documents. According to the investigation, in 2022-2024, the criminals repeatedly implemented a criminal scheme aimed at illegally registering land plots in Odesa as private property. Under the leadership of a 55-year-old organizer, two women were looking for undeveloped land plots without official owners. They produced forged land titles.
