In the Fergana region, the head of the district gas supply department was detained while receiving a bribe. This was reported by the State Security Service and the Department under the Prosecutor General's Office.
It turned out that he abused his official powers and demanded $10,000 from each of 10 households to connect them to the high-pressure natural gas network.
During the operation, he was caught red-handed while receiving the requested sum through an acquaintance.
It turned out that the head had previously been convicted, but did not draw the right conclusions from his mistake.
Currently, a case has been initiated against him under Article 210, Part 2, Clause "v" of the Criminal Code. Pre-trial detention has been applied to the accused, and the investigation is ongoing.
