Criminal Probe Launched Into 'Baden-Baden' Complex in Sysert, Ural
A criminal investigation has begun into the construction of the 'Baden-Baden' complex in Sysert, Ural. The probe follows concerns raised by local residents about access to Bessonova Hill and the legality of the project management.
Initially, law enforcement agencies found no issues with the construction, deeming it compliant with Russian Federation legislation. However, recent developments have led to a criminal case being opened under the article 'Negligence' (293 UK RF).
The 'Baden-Baden' complex, planned to include a thermal complex with pools, saunas, baths, a hotel apartment complex, and a cafe, is accused of blocking urban access to Bessonova Hill for all Ural residents. Despite this, experts from the Management of State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Sverdlovsk Region had previously approved the works on the land plots.
Local residents have expressed fears about an illegal land lease contract and environmental harm. The land, a 13,400 square meter plot, was leased for 2.88 million rubles for 8.6 years by entrepreneur Dmitry Niskovskikh, who is involved in the construction project. The construction began in spring 2023, with a planned completion date within two years.
The criminal case aims to investigate potential negligence in the project management of the 'Baden-Baden' complex. The project's impact on access to Bessonova Hill and the legality of the land lease are under scrutiny. The outcome of the investigation will determine the future of the project and the concerns of local residents.
