A criminal case has been initiated against 7 officials of the Bukhara Oil Refinery, the press service of the prosecutor’s office of Bukhara region reported.

It turned out that the former chief accountant and other officials of the oil depot forged documents and stole oil products worth 8.5 billion soums. The management of City Camping Buckhara LLC helped them in this illegal activity.

In particular, the tank farm accountant entered false information into the 1-C electronic program regarding payment for oil products by the private enterprise City Camping Buckhara.

During the audit, it was identified that the accountant transferred considerable funds from the organization’s account as financial assistance to a private enterprise.

When the authorities became interested in the activities of a private enterprise established by T.M. and G.K., it turned out that shares in the company were repeatedly transferred to close relatives of entrepreneurs.

Based on the results of the pre-investigation check against G.K. and T.M., a criminal case has been initiated.

Part of the damage caused to the state was recovered from the defendants (5.3 billion soums). In addition, the property of a private enterprise, estimated at 4 billion soums, was confiscated.

It is noted that during the investigation T.M. went on the run, but was caught and placed in a pre-trial detention center. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
