During the preliminary investigation of the criminal case against B.B. Siddikov, it was established that he, while working as the chief accountant of the Varzob District Central Hospital and then as an accountant at the same institution, committed a number of intentional crimes, using his official position. This was reported by the press service of the Agency for State Financial Control and Combating Corruption of the Republic of Tajikistan.
The investigation established that Siddikov B.B., with the intent to misappropriate budget funds, in the period from 2022 to 2025, using his official powers, deliberately inflated the monthly salaries of hospital employees and other payments in certificates submitted to the Office of the Ministry of Finance in the Varzob District.
Then, using forged payment orders, he periodically transferred funds totaling 1,147,744 somoni to his bank card account, which he subsequently spent on personal expenses, thereby embezzling the funds. As a result of his deliberate actions, the state suffered substantial material damage.
In addition, during his employment, he fraudulently gained the trust of the chief accountants of a number of state institutions operating in the Varzob district, and in 2022–2025, by incorrectly preparing the financial statements of these institutions, transferred funds in the total amount of 247,440 somoni to his bank account, which he also embezzled.
Based on this fact, a criminal case was opened against Siddikov B.B. under Articles 245, part 4, paragraph “b”, 247, part 4, paragraph “b”, 323 and 340, part 2, paragraph “a” of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan.
The criminal case with the approved indictment has been sent to court for consideration.
