In the Bukhara region, the chairman of the company was detained while receiving a bribe from a citizen
During operational-search activities conducted by operatives of the internal affairs bodies of the Bukhara region, a person born in 1993 was detained. According to law enforcement agencies, the detained citizen worked as the chairman of the district society of the Federation of Consumer Rights Protection Societies of Uzbekistan in the Shafirkan district.
It turned out that this person had previously encountered problems with the law: he was convicted under Articles 167 (extortion), 168 (fraud), and 228 (violation of administrative supervision rules) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Despite this, his reappointment to a responsible position raises various questions in the public.
According to the materials of the operational event, he promised to allocate 20 square meters of land around the shrine and parking lot in the district through his acquaintances working in high positions in the district administration, as well as to obtain permission to carry out lightweight construction work there.
It is said that in exchange for these "services," he demanded 500 US dollars from the citizen. During operational activities, he was caught red-handed while receiving the money.
A criminal case has been initiated by the Bukhara city branch of the Department for Combating Economic Crimes under the Prosecutor General's Office. Currently, investigative actions are being carried out on the basis of relevant articles of the Criminal Code.
For now, a legal assessment of all aspects of this case is expected. However, one thing is clear: times are changing for those who rely on the belief that "it will end with connections" - now every step has its reckoning.
