DSS officers detained officials working in the tax system and local government while they were illegally receiving money during operational measures.
Two corruption-related cases were identified in Samarkand region. During operational measures conducted by State Security Service officers, officials working in the tax system and local government were caught illegally receiving money.
It was reported that an accountant of the state institution "Accounting Center" operating in Bulungur district promised to reduce a tax debt of 150 million soums owed by a farm. In exchange, he first received 3 million soums from the head of the farm.
Later, the accountant demanded an additional 15 million soums, and while he was receiving this amount together with the deputy head of the Bulungur district tax inspection, he was caught red-handed by DSS and Internal Affairs officers.
Another case was recorded in Kattakurgan district. It was established that a person who served as deputy governor of the district in 2025 promised to arrange a job for a citizen at the district medical association and received 14 million soums in return. However, he did not fulfill his promise.
During the operational measure, this person, now a former deputy governor, was exposed while returning 1,000 US dollars as part of the money he had received.
Currently, criminal cases have been initiated regarding both incidents, and investigative actions are underway.
