Prosecutors of the Myrhorod District Prosecutor's Office have sent indictments to the court regarding two state registrars of the administrative services center for the population of the executive committee of the village council from the Kremenchuk district, due to whose illegal actions 14 plots of land were removed from the communal property of the Shyshatska territorial community into the ownership of a local private enterprise (part 3 of Article 365-2, part 3 of Article 362 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The investigation established that one of the accused illegally registered ownership rights for a private enterprise on 6 plots of land in 2021. The other committed similar actions in 2023 regarding 8 plots of land.
