There was more illegal deforestation after '90 because the commies would have thrown perpetrators in jail without appeal. After the communist regime fell, new black market deals were struck with corrupt forest rangers, logging mafias were formed, forests in the country of Harghita and elsewhere were cut down. There was even one policitian named Attila Verestoy¹ who was nicknamed the chainsaw of god (a pun on Attila the hun's nickname) specifically because he was part of the Harghita logging mafia and has facilitated illegal deforestation. His and other logging kings' legacy lives on. There you have it. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attila_Verest%C3%B3y https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attila_Verest%C3%B3y
