As reported by the press service of the Agency for State Financial Control and Anti-Corruption of Tajikistan, “According to the Agency’s financial audit plan for 2021-2022, a financial audit was conducted at the branch of the state savings bank ‘Amonatbank’ in the city of Rogun.”
It is reported that during the inspection and “counter checks at preschool educational institutions No. 1, No. 20, and No. 21 in the city of Rogun, it was established that more than 2.5 million somoni (250 thousand dollars) was embezzled from the salary fund of the employees.”
The country’s anti-corruption agency noted that the materials of the financial audit have been transferred to the relevant structures for decision-making, and the investigation is ongoing.
The names and positions of those involved in the embezzlement of funds in particularly large amounts are not mentioned. It is also unknown how many people have been detained for the misappropriation of budget funds.
Experts note that the embezzlement of budget funds by officials and employees of agencies and ministries in Tajikistan is considered a common occurrence. In the event of detention by the anti-corruption agency, officials may avoid criminal liability by paying large sums as bribes to employees of the anti-corruption agency.
