Timber worth nearly half a billion rubles was cut down at the "Bazhov Places".
The FSB foiled illegal logging on the specially protected natural territory "Bazhovskie Mesta" in the Sysertsky District of Sverdlovsk Oblast. It turned out that four men had been cutting pines and birches there for several years.
— After the logging, the timber was used for the needs of the "Barkhatnye Roga" farm, and was also transported to a neighboring region for sale using forged documents, the press service of the FSB Directorate for Sverdlovsk Oblast reported.
More than five thousand cubic meters of timber were taken from the territory. The damage was estimated at more than 450 million rubles. Investigators have opened a criminal case under the article "Illegal felling of forest stands by a group of persons by prior conspiracy."
Recall that in February a scandal erupted in Yekaterinburg over the felling of a birch grove in Yekaterinburg.
