Law enforcement officials in Rivne Region have concluded a pre-trial investigation against a 45-year-old resident of the village of Orzhiv. The woman is accused of illegally seizing a land plot in the summer of 2018 that is under the jurisdiction of the Rivne Housing and Maintenance Department, without having any relevant permits.
Details of the illegal seizure

Among the mitigating circumstances listed in the case files are the defendant’s sincere remorse and cooperation with the investigation. Despite this, the relevant article provides for a penalty of up to three years in prison.
