The head of the department of the National Medical Institution “Shifobakhsh,” commonly known as “Karabolo,” has been detained for large-scale fraud.

According to the press service of the Agency for State Financial Control and the Fight Against Corruption of the Republic of Tajikistan, Anvarov D. I., the head of the second department of the National Medical Institution “Shifobakhsh,” was detained for receiving a bribe of 5,000 dollars and 19,000 somoni.

Anvarov D. I. allegedly demanded this amount to “legally” assist in the admission of “the son of citizen Ashurov Z. T.” to the Medical Faculty of Tajik National University, as noted in the statement from the anti-corruption agency.

The Agency for the Fight Against Corruption of Tajikistan also accused Anvarov of “abusing his official position,” “embezzling someone else’s property through deception,” and “failing to fulfill his obligations.”

In this regard, the Agency for State Financial Control and the Fight Against Corruption of the Republic of Tajikistan has “initiated a criminal case against Anvarov D. I. under paragraph ‘b’ of part 4 of article 247 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan (Fraud committed by a person using his official position, on a large scale). After the preliminary investigation is completed, the case has been sent to court for consideration.

The anti-corruption agency’s statement does not indicate how the detained individual, his relatives, or lawyer commented on these accusations. Azda.tv has also been unable to obtain their comments.
