In the Bukhara and Fergana regions, individuals who promised university admission in exchange for money have been detained. The Department reported this for Combating Economic Crimes under the Prosecutor General's Office.

According to the report, during an operational raid in the Bukhara region, citizens A.X. and O.R. promised citizen O.B. admission to an institute through F.R., a former teacher at the Bukhara Pedagogical Institute. They were detained after receiving 3,500 US dollars for their assistance. Later, in a continuation of the operation, citizen F.R. was also detained with material evidence after receiving 2,000 US dollars through his acquaintance R.Sh.
