A case of fraud related to military service has been solved in Tajikistan. As part of the preliminary investigation of the criminal case against Kudbiddinzoda K.K., it was established that he, while holding the position of a department officer in the Operational Activities Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Tajikistan, committed fraudulent actions against citizen O.T., the press center of the Agency for State Financial Control and Combating Corruption of the Republic of Tajikistan reports.
In November 2023, using his official position, Kudbiddinzoda K.K. deceitfully gained the trust of O.T. and demanded 61,000 somoni from him for the “release” of his relative O.N.I. from service in the Armed Forces of Tajikistan. At the same time, Kudbiddinzoda knew that he did not have the authority to release a serviceman from service, but, nevertheless, continued to mislead O.T.
In the period from 2023 to 2024, Kudbiddinzoda K.K. gradually received from O.T. the amount of 59,000 somoni, which he spent on personal needs, without taking any action to release serviceman O.N.I. from service. Thus, his actions led to major material damage to citizen O.T.
In this regard, a criminal case was initiated against Kudbiddinzoda K.K. under Article 247, Part 3, Clause "a" of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan. The criminal case was sent to court for further consideration after the approval of the indictment.
