The senior assistant judge of the Surkhandarya region court was caught taking a bribe. The State Security Service reported this.
According to the information, he promised to reduce the identified damage amount of 6.3 billion soums for two defendants in a criminal case pending before the Angor district court for criminal cases, by issuing a court ruling to reassess the damage, impose a punishment not related to imprisonment, and revoke the "detention" preventive measure applied during the preliminary investigation.
