Officials of the Kirov region may be jailed for four years for the theft of ancient cobblestones. The administration wanted to please the locals with the “energy of stones” and moved the objects closer to the people. Result – 6 criminal articles instead of gratitude.
According to Mash, the Zhukovlyansky boulders, which are 250 million years old, were taken from a special environmental zone and piled up in front of the VyatSATU building. All for the sake of atmosphere on City Day on September 22. But there is a caveat: valuable exhibits cannot be moved from their natural location. At least officially.
Local environmental activists became overexcited and filed a complaint with the Investigative Committee. Now the administration is being checked under 6 articles of the Criminal Code: abuse of power, theft of especially valuable items, destruction or damage to cultural heritage sites, illegal removal of archaeological objects from their places of occurrence, violation of the regime of specially protected natural areas and natural objects.
