As the Navigator correspondent reports, today, by its order, the Council of Ministers of Crimea transferred to the management of the Reskomles 15 motorcycles of the KTM brand (250, 350, 450) of orange color with registration plates BGL (Berchtesgadener Land, Germany). The explanatory note to the order states that the property is transferred to “increase the effectiveness of measures to identify and prevent violations of requirements in the field of forest relations, relations in the field of hunting, conservation of hunting resources, organization, protection and use of natural reserve fund objects.”
In November last year, a group of 16 EU citizens on motorcycles was detained by the security service of the Yalta Mountain Forest Nature Reserve on the territory of the Gurzuf Environmental Research Department.
A motorcycle tour for foreigners on the protected lands of the peninsula was illegally organized by Austrian Thomas Fasching, collecting 7 thousand euros from its participants. The group included citizens of Norway, Germany, Austria, Romania and Switzerland, as well as one accompanying citizen of Ukraine.
Administrative protocols were drawn up against violators of the protected regime and KTM motorcycles were confiscated, which were transferred for safekeeping to the specialized enterprise MPE "Klen".
The Yalta City Court decided to confiscate the motorcycles of foreigners, and the owner of the Ukrainian bike got off with a fine.
Austrian citizen Thomas Fasching was already fined in 2010 for organizing motorcycle tours in the Yalta Nature Reserve. However, then the court did not confiscate the motorcycles.
