It is alleged that a lawyer from a law office in the Syrdarya district demanded $5,500 to transfer a person under investigation from the Khovos No. 8 pre-trial detention center to the district temporary detention center, and subsequently to have the case resolved in his favor in court.
During an urgent operation conducted by the State Security Service and the Prosecutor's Office, he was caught while receiving $4,500 and 6 million soums.
According to information, this lawyer was hired to protect the suspect's interests at state expense.
Currently, a criminal case has been initiated against him under Part 3, subsection "v" of Article 168, and Articles 28 and Part 1 of Article 211 of the Criminal Code, and the investigation is ongoing.
