An attorney operating in Tashkent was detained by officers of the Department under the Prosecutor General's Office and the State Security Service while he was taking $3,700 from a citizen of Piskent, having promised to help him through his "acquaintances" in court.
A criminal case has been initiated against him under the articles of the Criminal Code concerning fraud and bribery.
A similar situation was observed in Surkhandarya: An attorney from Denov was caught while taking 60 million soum from a citizen in exchange for securing a lighter sentence in a criminal case.
The measure of restraint "detention" has been applied against him. Investigative actions are ongoing in both cases.
