CEB employee was detained for embezzling over 300 million sums

A staff member of the Bukhara region’s Kogon district department of the Compulsory Enforcement Bureau (CEB) has been detained for embezzling more than 321 million sums by transferring the funds to the accounts of four acquaintances. The incident was reported by UzA.  

The employee, whose role was to ensure the accurate and timely allocation of departmental funds to their intended accounts, misappropriated 321,079,000 sums. These funds were illicitly transferred to the personal bank cards of individuals known to him.  

“A criminal case has been initiated, and an investigation is currently underway,” the report stated.  

This incident highlights ongoing concerns over financial mismanagement. Earlier reports revealed that 5.8 billion sums in wages and benefits were embezzled between January and October this year, resulting in the initiation of 71 criminal cases.
