In the Ilan-Nizhneingashsky district, police revealed facts of illegal export of lumber abroad. The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the region spoke about this.
During operational search activities, law enforcement officers, together with employees of the Krasnoyarsk customs, found out that a 65-year-old resident of the Ilansko-Nizhneingash municipal district and his acquaintance, a 42-year-old businessman, were engaged in illegal logging of forest plantations and their legalization by concluding purchase and sale agreements.
