In the capital of Tajikistan, law enforcement officers detained a 38-year-old man suspected of embezzlement or theft of property of the company where he worked. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Tajikistan.
According to the department, from 2009 to December 2024, the suspect worked as a driver in one of the private enterprises – Green United Group LLC. During his official activities, the company's management issued and registered two Toyota Camry cars in his name to perform official tasks.
However, as the investigators established, the man used the said vehicles not only in the interests of the company, but also for personal purposes. Later, citing non-payment of wages, he sold both cars to third parties without permission from the management. The total amount of the illegal transaction was 270 thousand somoni. The suspect appropriated the proceeds and spent them on personal needs.
A criminal case has been opened on this fact under Article 245 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan – theft or embezzlement of entrusted property. An investigation is currently underway.
