Orel officials illegally leased land and suffered damages

March 30, 2023

In the Orel region, officials illegally rented land. The violations were discovered by the prosecutor’s office. During the audit, it was established that the authorities of the Glazunov district provided a land object, state property for which is not demarcated. They provided the man with land for the construction of a residential building.

When the term of the rental agreement ended, the Orlovchanin did not ask the local administration to conclude an agreement for a new term or to purchase the object. As a result, the land remained assigned to him. At the same time, he did not pay rent, thereby causing damage to the Glazunov district administration.

The prosecutor’s office filed a complaint in which it demanded to recover the man’s unjust enrichment from the local budget. The requirements have been met.
