Corruption cases related to state property, electricity, and land plots have been exposed in Andijan. The State Security Service reported this.

 

According to the report, the State Assets Management Agency and the Center for Efficient Use of State Property Objects in the Andijan region, through their territorial departments, filed an appeal with the civil court to terminate a tripartite agreement concluded with a local entrepreneur for the purchase of a real estate object in Izboskan district on the condition of paying the principal payments. The appeal was filed on the grounds that the entrepreneur had not complied with the terms of the agreement, seeking its cancellation and the collection of penalties and fines.

 

 

Aware of this, a chief specialist of the territorial department of the State Assets Management Agency, through his high-ranking acquaintances, demanded $15,000 USD in exchange for resolving the court ruling in favor of the entrepreneur and not canceling the concluded agreement.

 

The chief specialist was apprehended while receiving the requested money through a third party.

 

 

In the second case, an engineer from the Andijan regional branch of JSC "Hududiy elektr tarmoqlari" demanded $15,000 USD in exchange for reducing a damage assessment of 650 million soums, drawn up regarding the illegal use of electricity by an individual entrepreneur, to 40 million soums. He was apprehended while receiving $10,000 USD of that amount.

 

In the third case, it was established that the head of the Cadastre department in one of the districts received $3,000 USD in exchange for allocating a land plot to a citizen. It was also revealed that he had falsified documents indicating that 8 sotiks of land had been allocated.

 

 

Subsequent inspections revealed that this land plot had been allocated illegally, and a fine of 82 million soums was imposed on the citizen. This official was also exposed during the process of returning the $3,000 USD.

 

Currently, criminal cases have been initiated regarding all incidents, and investigative actions are underway.
