In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, a resident of the village of Bor will pay half a million for the caught sturgeon, the prosecutor’s office said.
In July 2024, a 37-year-old man decided to go fishing on the Yenisei, near the mouth of the Podkamennaya Tunguska River. He got there on the Ob-M motor boat and installed air hook tackle.
The next day, he returned for the prey, which was Siberian sturgeon, a fish listed in the Red Book of Russia. On the shore the man was detained by police.
In relation to the man, they opened a criminal case under Part 1 of Art. 258.1 of the Criminal Code (illegal production of aquatic biological resources). At the trial, the expert recognized the “airplanes” with an instrument of mass extermination of sturgeon species of fish, so the man was sentenced to 1 year 2 months of convention with a probation period of 1 year 2 months.
The prosecutor's office has filed a lawsuit in order to oblige a man to compensate for damage caused by illegal fishing. The poacher will have to pay 500 million rubles. The execution of the court decision is under the control of the prosecutor's office.
