During operational and investigative activities in Tajikistan, a theft of credit funds was uncovered, carried out using false information. The suspects in this crime are employees of the State Unitary Enterprise Industrial and Export Bank of Tajikistan "Sanoatsodirotbank", as well as citizens who provided false documents to obtain a loan, the press center of the Agency for State Financial Control and Fight against Corruption of the Republic of Tajikistan reports.
As established during the investigation, in April 2024, Yusupov Sh.F., a 2nd category specialist in the bank's small and medium lending department, conspired with citizens Nabieva Sh.T. and Rakhmatulloeva V.N. to obtain a loan in the amount of 100,000 somoni. As a result, they submitted knowingly false information to the bank about Rakhmatulloeva's financial situation and business activities, which led to the receipt of the loan.
After receiving the funds, Rakhmatulloeva did not use them for their intended purpose. Instead, she divided the amount between herself and her accomplices in the crime, embezzling the money and causing significant material damage to the bank.
A criminal case was opened against Yusupov and other suspects under Article 246, Part 2, paragraphs "b" and "c" of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan. After completion of the preliminary investigation, the criminal case was transferred to the court for further consideration.
