Court employee detained in Jizzakh while taking a bribe (video)

Employees of the State Security Service detained an employee of the Dustlik district court for criminal proceedings while receiving a bribe, UzA writes.

It turned out that the court employee, having entered into an agreement with a previously convicted citizen, promised a resident of Jizzakh a positive decision in the divorce process through his acquaintances working in the civil court. He demanded $4,000 for his “service”.

He was detained by officers of the State Security Service and the prosecutor’s office while receiving $2,000 of the agreed amount.

On this fact, a criminal case was initiated under Articles 168 (fraud) and 211 (giving a bribe) of the Criminal Code. An investigation is underway.
