Return of land to state ownership
As part of measures aimed at protecting state interests, the prosecution authorities ensured the transfer of 209 hectares of land that were privately owned by foreigners from the Russian Federation and Belarus to state ownership. In particular, thanks to the efforts of the Letichiv District Prosecutor’s Office, a land plot of 0.12 hectares was confiscated from a citizen of Russia and transferred to the state.
“Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, 209 hectares of land that were owned by citizens of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus have been returned to the state in Khmelnytskyi region,” the statement reads.
Grounds for the confiscation of land plots
The basis for the confiscation of one of the plots was that the owner, who is a foreigner, did not transfer the inherited land plot designated for personal farming within the legally established timeframe. As a result, the plot was transferred to state ownership.
It is worth noting that in the Zakarpattia region, a former assistant to a people’s deputy from a banned party and a regional council deputy has been notified of suspicion for the illegal use of forest fund lands worth over 150 million hryvnias and for the construction of a tourist complex.
