Although the distribution, purchase, sale, and illegal trafficking of pyrotechnic products are criminal offenses, and several individuals have already been arrested for these offenses, some individuals, seeking financial gain, deliberately continue to commit illegal acts. This was reported by the Dushanbe Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Specifically, officers from the Shokhmansur District Department of Internal Affairs No. 1 prevented the distribution of pyrotechnics on an especially large scale. Usmonali Aliyev and Nuriddin Tokhtamishov were detained while selling the pyrotechnics.
During the inspection, a total of more than 174,000 units of pyrotechnic products with the inscription “Friction” were found and confiscated from the said individuals.
The necessary materials have been compiled regarding the suspects' illegal actions. A preliminary investigation is ongoing to initiate criminal proceedings in accordance with Article 199, Note 1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan.
Law enforcement agencies once again call on citizens to assist the capital's police in preventing the spread of fireworks and to contribute to ensuring a calm and safe New Year's celebration.
