In Uzbekistan, several responsible persons were detained along with the next charges in the field of combating corruption. As a result of operational measures carried out by the State Security Service and the Department under the Prosecutor General's Office, officials in the fields of education, customs, emergency situations, and ecology were detained while receiving bribes.
The leader who "sold" a history teacher for a position
In one of the districts of the capital, the head of the preschool and school education department demanded 3,000 US dollars to appoint a history teacher as the school principal. When he received the money in his office, the operatives detained him with material evidence.
$2,700 for smooth passage at customs
An inspector of the "Yangiyul" customs post in the Tashkent region was detained while receiving a bribe of $2,700 for the smooth organization of the export-import process. It was established that he abused the cargo of wheat arriving from Kazakhstan.
Opening a kindergarten - "written permission" $200
The head of the Department of Emergency Situations of the Jomboy district of the Samarkand region demanded $200 to provide a positive conclusion on fire safety and supervise a citizen who wanted to open a private kindergarten in his apartment. At the time of receiving the money, he was also arrested with evidence.
The head of ecology received $2,000 to open a quarry.
The head of the Pakhtachinsky District Department of Ecology was detained while receiving $2,000 from a private company in exchange for carrying out quarry operations, mining gravel, and issuing an environmental report. He also promised to supervise future activities.
Accountability and investigation process
Cases have been initiated under Article 210 (bribery) of the Criminal Code. In addition, a preventive measure of detention was applied to these officials, and investigative actions were initiated.
Summary: Rotten roots within the system
These circumstances once again showed that a person holding a position continues to view their authority not only for the sake of service, but also as a means of generating profit. It's impossible not to talk about how many leaders who sold their bodies for money for temporary freedom have become rich at the expense of children's education, health, and safety.
