Criminal case initiated against V.E. LLC management for embezzling utility payments in Tashkent

Investigations are currently underway as authorities conduct a thorough review of the case to identify those responsible and determine the full extent of the embezzlement.

In the Yashnabad district of Tashkent, officials from an LLC were found to have misappropriated funds collected from residents for utility services, according to a report from the Department under the General Prosecutor's Office.

According to the report, a preliminary investigation carried out by the district department revealed that the responsible individuals of LLC "V.E." and others, acting in collusion, failed to deposit 264.7 million UZS, which had been paid by residents of apartment buildings for utility services, into the company's account. Instead, these funds were diverted for personal use.

This incident led to the initiation of a criminal case under Article 167 of the Criminal Code (theft by embezzlement or misappropriation), and the investigation is ongoing.
