In the Fergana region, a criminal case has been opened against the head of a district branch of the Cadastral Chamber, who is suspected of accepting a bribe of $600. Investigators believe the funds were received in exchange for a promise to assist the owner of an illegally constructed store.
According to the State Security Service of Uzbekistan, a report on unauthorized construction had previously been drawn up for this retail facility. It is believed that the head of the branch offered to revoke this report and prevent the application of legal sanctions.
In early July of this year, he received $600 for his services. However, it turned out that he failed to fulfill his promise and subsequently returned $500 to the store owner.
This incident was uncovered as a result of a joint operation by the State Security Service and the Department for Combating Economic Crimes.
A criminal case has been opened against the head of the branch. However, the State Security Service did not provide information on the specific article of the Criminal Code under which the investigation is being conducted.
The preliminary investigation is currently ongoing. The name of the district where the incident occurred, as well as the procedural status of the defendant in the case, remain undisclosed.
It is important to note that this is a suspect, and a final legal determination will be made based on the results of the investigation and trial.
