The Commercial Court of the Lviv region has satisfied the claim of the Zolochiv District Prosecutor’s Office against the state forestry enterprise regarding the recovery of damages due to illegal logging.
“It has been established that the permanent forest user violated the requirements of environmental protection legislation,” the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office states. The illegal unauthorized logging by unknown individuals took place in the protected area of the natural reserve site ‘Piski’.
These facts are confirmed by the conclusion of a judicial engineering and environmental examination. As a result of these actions, damage exceeding 1 million UAH was caused to the local community. **Prosecutors appealed to the court**, and their claim was fully satisfied.
Once the decision comes into legal force, measures will be taken to enforce it.
