A criminal case for abuse of office has been opened against the head of the Prigorodny District of North Ossetia and a former architect.

A criminal case has been opened against the head of the administration of the Prigorodny District of North Ossetia and a former architect under the article on abuse of office (subparagraphs "b" and "d" of Part 3 of Article 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), Interfax reported on February 13, citing the press service of the FSB Directorate for the republic.

According to the agency, the suspects, using their official position, issued permits for the construction of capital construction projects on land plots classified as agricultural land, where it is prohibited construction. Furthermore, the suspects issued permits for the commissioning of non-existent facilities, allowing tenants to appropriate 12-hectare plots. These actions resulted in damages to the district budget totaling over five million rubles.

Previously, "Caucasian Knot" reported that last August it became known that a criminal case had been opened in North Ossetia for the illegal transfer of a land plot to a farm and its subsequent sale to Rosavtodor. The head of the Prigorodny District administration has become a suspect in the case.
