In Andijan, a bank official was caught with a $40,000 bribe.
He demanded 90 thousand dollars in exchange for handing over the building, which was mortgaged for credit support, to the entrepreneur without an auction.
A senior official working in the banking system in Andijan region has been detained on suspicion of taking a large bribe. The SSS reported this.
It is reported that the deputy head of the main department of one of the banks in Andijan region, who had the authority to put properties pledged for credit support up for auction and direct sale, intended to use his official position for personal enrichment.
He took advantage of the fact that a 4-story building of a private medical center located in Asaka district, with a total value of 16.8 billion soums, pledged for credit support, had failed to sell at an auction trading platform. The bank employee reduced the price of the building to 12 billion soums, acquired it for the bank organization, and then demanded 90 thousand US dollars from a local entrepreneur in exchange for providing it to him from an interest-free credit account for a 7-year term without auction sales.
During an operational event conducted by State Security Service officers, this official was caught red-handed while receiving 40 thousand US dollars.
A criminal case has now been initiated against him, and investigative actions are being carried out.
