In order to decisively combat corruption, employees of the State Security Service, together with the Department of Personal Security of the Customs Committee and the Prosecutor's Office of the city of Tashkent, conducted a special operational event. During this operation, some officials engaged in illegal activities were detained.
According to the information, the inspector of the "Navoi" border customs post of the Customs Administration of Tashkent region used his official powers for malicious purposes. He attempted to smuggle 7 kilograms of precious gold from the Republic of Kazakhstan without declaring it and concealing it from customs control of a resident of the Tashkent district, born in 1979. In return, the inspector was caught red-handed in Chirchik while personally accepting $5,000.
Currently, a criminal case has been initiated against this customs officer under Article 210, Part 2, Clause "v" of the Criminal Code, and a preventive measure of imprisonment has been applied against him.
Large-scale cases of corruption were also noted in the capital. The chief inspector of the branch of the state tax inspectorate of the Shaykhantakhur district, using his official position, demanded $2,500 to liquidate the activities of a private enterprise engaged in the wholesale trade of food products through high-ranking acquaintances.
Employees of the Tashkent City Department of the State Security Service, in cooperation with the Department under the Prosecutor General's Office, detained the chief inspector with material evidence while receiving the requested funds in front of the district tax inspectorate building. A case has been initiated against him under Article 168, Part 3, Clause "v," and Article 28, Part 1 of the Criminal Code.
In addition, a case of violation of the law was also identified in the Mirabad district. The tax inspector assigned to mahallas, illegally using his official position, transferred 10 million soums to his personal bank card in exchange for not conducting tax audits in the territory belonging to him and providing him with advance information about any planned inspections.
His illegal actions were also stopped with prompt measures. Now this inspector will also have to answer before the law for his actions.
These events show that there are still serious problems in the fight against corruption that need to be solved. Responsible agencies warn citizens once again, emphasizing the importance of preventing such situations and ensuring transparency.
