Two residents of the Rozvadivska community will be held accountable for illegal tree cutting in the Starytsi Dnistera sanctuary. The prosecution determined that in January, two men aged 34 and 37 felled 15 ‘Alder’ trees with a chainsaw.
The offenders planned to transport the timber to their homes. However, they were unable to carry out their plan as they were stopped by the police at the scene of the crime. The material damage amounts to nearly 1.2 million UAH.
Criminal proceedings were investigated by police department No. 2 of the Stryi DNP, and the charges were referred to court by prosecutors of the Stryi District Prosecutor’s Office. According to the law, the accused are considered innocent until proven guilty in court.
