Bank manager caught while taking money in Andijan

In the Andijan region, an official holding a high-ranking position in the banking system was apprehended by law enforcement agencies while receiving a bribe. Zamin.uz reported this.

According to established information, this individual served as a deputy head at the main office of one of the banks in the region. His responsibilities included putting properties pledged as loan collateral up for sale and overseeing the relevant processes.

Using his position and authority, the official planned to gain illegal benefits. He agreed to take a bribe in exchange for documenting the sale of pledged properties at prices significantly lower than market value.

Specifically, a medical center building located in the Asaka district, valued at 16.8 billion soums, was the primary object of this agreement. After the building failed to sell via auction, the official artificially lowered its price and offered it to an entrepreneur on preferential terms.

In exchange, he demanded a bribe of 90,000 US dollars from the entrepreneur. During an operational measure conducted by officers of the State Security Service, the official was detained while receiving 40,000 dollars, which was part of the agreed amount.

Additionally, all evidence related to the crime has been fully uncovered. A criminal case has now been officially opened regarding this dangerous incident.

Investigative measures are being carried out on a large scale by investigative bodies to determine all details of the case.
