Specifically, the head of the Anti-Corruption and Compliance Control Department of the “Fergana Regional Electric Networks” joint-stock company was caught in the act with physical evidence when accepting 1000 US dollars from the chief engineer of an electric network company in one of the districts of the region, in exchange for not dismissing him for his shortcomings during his activity until September 2024.
