The head of the district water supply branch in the Andijan region has been detained on suspicion of attempting to illegally obtain $8,500. These funds were offered for assistance in connecting a private residential house to the sewage system.
According to information provided by the Department under the General Prosecutor's Office, the head of the Jalakuduk district branch of JSC 'Andijan Suv Ta'minoti' offered a monetary reward to a local resident for processing the technical conditions for such a connection. A mediator was involved in transferring the money, who was detained by law enforcement agencies at the moment of receiving the funds.
A criminal case has been initiated regarding this incident, which includes articles on fraud and bribery. Investigative actions are currently ongoing.
It is worth noting that a large-scale corruption scheme related to the modernization project of the water supply system was previously uncovered in the Pskent district of Tashkent region.
