It turned out that he demanded $5,000 for not applying a preventive measure in the form of detention and assistance during the investigation against a suspect in a criminal case initiated under Articles 168 and 228 of the Criminal Code.
The investigator was caught red-handed while receiving the requested amount at a catering establishment.
Based on this fact, the regional prosecutor’s office opened a criminal case under Articles 168 (Fraud) and 211 (Giving a bribe) of the Criminal Code.

The assistant prosecutor of the Pastdargom district demanded $3,000 from the relatives of a citizen accused in a criminal case for imposing a less severe punishment and providing assistance in releasing him from custody through his contacts in the judiciary.
During an operative event carried out by the Samarkand Regional SSS Department, an assistant prosecutor was caught with material evidence while receiving $2,500.
Currently, a criminal case has been initiated against him under Articles 168 (Fraud) and 211 (Bribery) of the Criminal Code. A preventive measure in the form of detention has been applied against the detainee.
