Reportedly, one of the officials, Kh.F., promised to issue a document on the absence of epizootic diseases on samples taken from a land plot located in the Urta Chirchik district, which belongs to a private enterprise. In return, he demanded $800 in bribe. The man was arrested with material evidence while receiving the money.

Also, the head of the infectious disease department R.Kh. was caught red-handed while receiving $400 in bribe from Kh.F.

On this fact, a criminal case was initiated against Kh.F and R.Kh. under Article 210 (bribery) of the Criminal Code.

An investigation is currently underway.
