Also, head of the metrology service of “Khududgaz Samarkand” gas supply branch R.J. misused his official power: in order to hide the natural gas account stolen by O.A., the unofficial head of the private enterprise “Karim qurilish savdo” located in the Narpay district and his criminal companions, he regularly changed the calculations of natural gas supplied and consumed.
At the same time, he was aware of shortages and possible thefts in high-pressure gas networks, but remotely affected gas meters at gas distribution stations.
Z.A., who worked as the head of the gas supply department of “Narpaytumangaz”, also contributed to the above situation: he provided practical assistance to the illegal activities of O.A., the unofficial head of the private enterprise “Karim qurilish savdo” located in the Narpay district, and his criminal companions, informed in advance about the inspection activities to be carried out.
In addition, it was found out that the director of Samarkand regional “Consulting Center for the Organization of Tenders in Construction” S.G. and chief accountant of the center A.J. had been looting the funds of the center by a criminal conspiracy.
When the activity of the “Consulting Center for the Organization of Tenders in Construction” was studied in 2016-2023, it was found that the officials of the center embezzled 1.3 billion soums of the society’s funds by colluding with each other, and it was duly documented.
