The State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan continues to identify and suppress corruption in public authorities, including fiscal, control and audit bodies.
Thus, in the course of the work, data were obtained on large-scale corruption in the Customs Service, in which the administration and heads of structural divisions are involved.
“The available data indicate that the heads of the Customs Service are lobbying the interests of private companies involved in the import of goods, which are given preferential terms, and customs clearance is carried out with a gross violation of the law, schemes are used to hide goods from the customs’ administration for the systematic bribetaking,” the State Committee for National Security informs.
In addition, for the purpose of personal enrichment, the heads of the Customs Service, hiding behind the interests of the state, unreasonably overestimates the cost of customs services for foreign economic activity entities provided by affiliated companies.
According to these facts, on January 17, a criminal case was initiated under article 336 of part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic [“Corruption”]. As part of this case, on suspicion of committing a crime, the chairman of the State Customs Service, Adilet Kubanychbekov, was detained and placed in a temporary detention facility.
