Lands by the water, lands owned by farms, even state-owned territories... Who isn't offering what in exchange for money? A number of operational measures carried out by the Department under the Prosecutor General's Office and law enforcement agencies, unfortunately, once again demonstrated the disregard for land legislation by some citizens.
At events held in Surkhandarya, Namangan, Navoi, and Syrdarya regions, cases of illegal land sales for hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of soums were exposed.
Surkhandarya - riverside land trade:
A.N., who worked as a water supervisor at the Tupalang-Karatog Irrigation Systems Department, intended to sell a 32-hectare plot of land belonging to the Amu-Surkhan system along the Tupalang River to citizen S.Kh. for $73,500. He was detained while receiving $70,000 and 39 million soums.
Namangan - promised land registration through connections:
Previously convicted citizen N.Sh. He was detained while receiving 30 thousand out of 60 thousand dollars, promising to transfer 25 sotkas of land to another citizen with the help of high-ranking acquaintances.
Navoi - 18 hectares of land valued at 190 million soums:
18.7 hectares of land belonging to the "Ch.O." farm, allocated for lease, were sold by citizen A.K. for 200 million soums. At the time of receiving 190 million of the money, he was detained by law enforcement.
Syrdarya - introduced himself as a farmer and "sold" the land:
Previously convicted D.E., introducing himself as the head of a farm, attempted to "sell" 13 hectares of land in the territory of the "Mirzachul" Agricultural Production Association for 100 million soums. He was caught red-handed while receiving 56 million soums.
All within the framework of the Criminal Code:
Criminal cases have been initiated under Articles 168 (fraud) and 28, 211 (bribery) of the Criminal Code, and the investigation is ongoing.
Land is wealth. However, attempting to illegally profit from this wealth is not only illegal, but also a crime that undermines trust in the entire system.
