In Tashkent, judges of the city administrative court embezzled 8 billion soums, the Deputy Director of the Anti-Corruption Agency Umida Tukhtasheva said.
“Several judges and their assistants conspired with the officers of the Tashkent city traffic police department. They made about 5 thousand fake decisions without initiating administrative cases on traffic violations. They reviewed cases without the participation of the parties and deliberately destroyed some administrative cases,” she said.
As a result, the damage to the state budget amounted to 8 billion soums.
Umida Tukhtasheva also said that the General Prosecutor's Office opened a criminal case against judges and other employees of the Tashkent City Administrative Court. An investigation is underway.
