On
the basis of
an inspection of the actions of a local religious organization
of Christians of
Evangelical Faith, "Youth with a Mission," there were exposed
instances of unauthorized occupation of a parcel of land and
also use of the
parcel not in accord with its designated purpose. "The religious
organization and its president have been held administratively
accountable in
the form of a fine totaling more than one million rubles," the
news
agency's source said.
He
said that, in
all, four cases of administrative violations of law were opened:
two with

instances of violations.
"From the point of view of law, persons who commit administrative violations of law are equal before the law and legal entities are subject to administrative accountability regardless of their location, organizational legal forms, jurisdiction, and also other circumstances," the representative of the agency specified.
