Person detained for embezzling funds allocated for coal in Kashkadarya

The head of an LLC, accused of embezzling funds allocated for coal supplies, has been detained in the Kashkadarya region. This was reported by the Department for Combating Economic Crimes under the Prosecutor General’s Office.

According to the report, the pre-investigation investigation conducted by the Mubarak district department revealed that A.E., the head of “B.F.” LLC, and other individuals colluded to embezzle 514.8 million sums. The funds, meant for the uninterrupted supply of coal to the population during the autumn-winter season under a public-private partnership agreement, were misused for other purposes.

A criminal case has been initiated under Article 167 of the Criminal Code (embezzlement or misappropriation), and investigative actions are ongoing.

It is important to note that similar cases of misappropriating coal intended for heating social facilities have previously been identified in the Republic of Karakalpakstan and the Namangan region.
