The Deputy governor of Jizzakh was caught with a bribe of 2000 US dollars (video)

A person who worked as an assistant to the governor of the "Aqtash Ota" Neighborhood citizen's gathering of Sharof Rashidov district, was arrested on charges of corruption during a special event held by the Jizzakh regional department of the State Security Service.

It is noted that the assistant governor aimed to gain material wealth through deception and abuse of trust.  Knowing that the construction of 10 greenhouses, which were being built by the entrepreneur as a supplier to the citizens, had not been completed, he would help to transfer the money for these greenhouses in the amount of 330 million soms to the account of the limited liability company managed by the entrepreneur.  In return, Sharof Rashidov promised that he needs the consent of the first deputy of the district governor and that he would solve the issue only if he and the deputy governor were given one thousand dollars.

On 17 October, in Sharof Rashidov district, the assistant mayor was caught with physical evidence when he received the 2,000 US dollars demanded from the businessman in the cabin of his Nexia car, in front of the gas station in "Yuksalish" neighborhood of Sharof Rashidov district.

Currently, a criminal case has been initiated in connection with this case under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code, and the investigation is ongoing.
