Foresters to stand trial for trafficking in state forest in Shushensky district

Two foresters of the KGB "Sayano-Shushenskoe forestry" will stand trial for accepting bribes and illegal logging. This was announced on October 6 by the Prosecutor's office of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

According to investigators, in the summer of 2023, for 600 thousand rubles, they helped the loggers to "adjust" the site to their needs by drawing up fictitious acts of inspection of logging areas with distorted data on the number and quality of trees. As a result, the logging was completed on a plot with 300 cubic meters of valuable pine.

"The damage to the state forest fund amounted to 7.8 million rubles. The defendants fully admitted their guilt and testified against their supervisor, who also, according to them, received bribes," the department's Telegram channel reported.

The foresters were charged under clauses "a" and "b" of Part 5 of Article 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (receiving a large bribe). The criminal cases were sent to the Shushensky District Court for consideration on the merits.
