In particular, an employee of the Department of Small Industrial Zones under the regional administration conspired with two of his partners. The fraudsters promised to allocate 100 hectares of land for the establishment of a farm to a local citizen through acquaintances working at the Khodjabad district administration and prepare the relevant documents. In exchange, they demanded $128,000 in bribe. They were caught red-handed while receiving the money.

During the preliminary investigation, it was found out that for their services, the detainees had already received $7,000 in advance.

In addition, they had to transfer $70,000 from the total amount to a friend working at the Andijan regional Department of Economic Development and Poverty Reduction, who was also detained during a further operational event when receiving the money.
 
Currently, criminal proceedings have been initiated against the perpetrators under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code.
