One of the incidents took place in the Pskent district, where a citizen identified as Kh.A. was caught red-handed while receiving $1,000 in exchange for promising to arrange a driver’s license through "connections" with high-ranking officials.
In a separate case in Akhangaran, law enforcement officials detained two individuals for receiving $1,000 in return for similar false promises to help secure a license.
Criminal cases have been initiated under Articles 168 (fraud) and 28, 211 (bribery) of Uzbekistan’s Criminal Code. Investigations are currently underway to determine the full extent of these offenses.
