Two illegal cases related to abuse of official powers, as well as credit allocation and recalculation of damages, have been uncovered. This was reported by the State Security Service.
In the first case, the head of a department of the Regional Control Inspection in the field of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Andijan region attempted to embezzle other people's funds by abusing his official position.
It turned out that illegal use of drinking water was detected at a shop in Andijan city, and Andijon Suv Taʼminoti JSC drew up an act for damages amounting to approximately 680 million soums. The department head, through his acquaintances in official positions, demanded 30 million soums to recalculate and reduce the amount of damages and to avoid administrative action.
During an operational measure conducted jointly by the State Security Service, the Department for Combating Economic Crimes, and the Internal Affairs bodies, he was caught red-handed at the moment he received the demanded money.
In the second case, the chief manager of the "neighborhood-based work" department of a branch of one of the commercial banks in the Asaka district demanded 8,000 US dollars in exchange for arranging a credit of 3 billion 650 million soums for a citizen who intended to engage in entrepreneurial activity.
According to information, he received a total of 7,800 US dollars from the citizen in April–May of this year. However, he was unable to resolve the promised credit issue. He was detained by law enforcement agencies during an operational measure when he was returning 1,000 dollars of the received amount.
Currently, criminal cases have been initiated on both incidents, and investigative actions are being carried out.
