After numerous complaints from residents to the authorities and the April publication of ACCA about corruption in the Sergeli district of Tashkent, law enforcement agencies opened a criminal case. The press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office said about the embezzlement of more than $ 9 thousand by the leadership of the regional branch of the Mahallah Foundation.
In April publication, ACCA noted a case of undisguised theft of humanitarian aid. On April 23, in the Sergeli district, near the building of the department of the Mahallah and Family Support Ministry, resident Zuhra Zerikova repeatedly observed a picture of a hidden unloading of food bags in which she saw chocolate butter and cheese with sausage. She justifiably doubted that “such delicacies of the quarantine period will go to those in need.”
Material has been spotted. Another Tashkent citizen confirmed to the ACCA journalist that after the publication, “mahallah representatives for show and to avoid hype tried to appease some talkative residents of the region with extended-range food sets”.
“Employees of the Department for Combating Economic Crimes at the General Prosecutor’s Office of Uzbekistan revealed the theft of funds received from the nationwide charity hashar by officials of the Sergeli branch of the Mahallah Republican Charity Public Foundation,” the agency said.
According to the version of the Prosecutor General’s Office, “during the pre-investigation check conducted by the district branch of the department, it turned out that UZS 95.8 million were stolen by forging protocols which indicated that the funds were used to purchase gifts for families in need of social protection and to issue material assistance and other types of social support.”
According to the local online publication, in May, theft of funds from charitable was discovered in the Tashkent region. Then it became known that the deputy hokim of the Akkurgan region and the accountant cashed out monetary means from the Mahallah and Kindness and Support funds. As a result of fraud, $ 15 thousand were embezzled.
Until April 1, spontaneous volunteer groups compiled lists of people in need, collected money to buy groceries, and arranged a door to door delivery. And quite unexpectedly, the state in the person of the deputy minister for supporting the mahallah and the family Elmira Basithanova considered their activities to be inappropriate to the current situation. To create a system of assistance to the population, the Ministry has established sponsorship coordination centers in the regions of the country. They set up control that virtually eliminates corruption, it manifests itself after the aid gets into mahallah.
