On the order of the Chairman of the Russia’s Investigative Committee the Leningrad Region Investigations Directorate has started a procedural check into the legitimacy of a decision to reissue registration and sell a part of Siversky forest in the Leningrad Region.

At the same time the investigators are going to sent a petition to the prosecutor’s office to pass a criminal case against representatives of the initiative group “Protect Siversky forest” opened over signs of a crime under paragraph “a” of part 1 of article 213 of the RF Criminal Code (hooliganism) from the bodies of internal affairs to the RF Investigative Committee.

Investigators believe that to make objective decisions in both the check and the criminal case the integrated examination of the situation connected with the alienation of a part of Siversky forest is necessary.
