In Tashkent's Buka district, a neighborhood assistant to the mayor was apprehended after being caught accepting a 5.2 million UZS bribe. The official had promised to assist a citizen in obtaining a 120 million UZS preferential housing loan through connections with other officials. The individual has a prior criminal record.
Separately, a specialist from the Bureau of Compulsory Enforcement (BCE) in Kogon district misappropriated 321.1 million UZS from the department's accounts. The funds were transferred to four acquaintances' bank cards and subsequently withdrawn. Criminal charges have been filed, and an investigation is underway.
In another case, a neighborhood assistant to the mayor in Navoi region’s Khatirchi district, who also has a prior criminal record, conspired with a private company owner to secure a 200 million UZS preferential loan under false pretenses. The loan, intended for business development, was instead funneled into the assistant’s personal enterprise and embezzled.
Authorities have launched investigations into all cases, emphasizing their commitment to combating corruption and safeguarding public funds.
