The Prosecutor's Office of the Volyn Region has opened eight criminal cases against Volyn foresters who fined "dead souls." The reason for opening another one was the fictitious fight against forest violations by forest masters of the Silnenske forestry of the Tsuman state forestry enterprise. They entered false data into the papers about the facts of unauthorized felling of fir trees, indicating in them the names of citizens who did not commit them. A criminal case has also been opened against six employees of the Silnenske forestry by the environmental interdistrict prosecutor. And according to the regional prosecutor Andriy Hil, a criminal case opened against the engineer for forest protection and defense of the Tsuman state forestry enterprise has also been sent to court. While concealing shortcomings in the work and using his official position, he considered administrative cases drawn up on the basis of fictitious protocols on administrative violations of forest legislation in the absence of the offenders themselves and even fined the "guilty." In order to avoid such precedents in the future, the regional prosecutor's office submitted a corresponding submission to the head of the regional forestry department, Bohdan Kolisnyk.
