Employees of the Agency for State Financial Control and the Fight Against Corruption of the Republic of Tajikistan have detained the vice-mayor of Isfara, Faizullozoda Parviz.
According to the agency’s press center, “Faizullozoda Parviz, during his tenure as head of the Department of Economics and Trade of the executive body of state power of the city of Isfara, deceitfully and using his official position, demanded from citizen ‘A’ 20,000 US dollars to allocate a private plot of land.”
The statement notes that the official received 57,000 somoni (about 5,700 dollars) and “spent it on his needs, as a result of which this intentional action caused significant material damage to the citizen.”
A criminal case has been initiated against Parviz Faizullozoda under Article 247, Part 4, Clause “b” (fraud committed on a particularly large scale) of the Criminal Code of Tajikistan and has been sent to court, the statement says.
This article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of 8 to 12 years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions for up to 5 years.
However, due to the widespread bribery and corruption in Tajikistan, even in the judicial authorities, detained officials are usually released after paying a bribe and may even return to government positions.
