In the Kibray district of Tashkent region, the head of a water supply service institution demanded 16,000 dollars in exchange for resolving the issue of recognizing a citizen's house as illegally built. He was caught red-handed while receiving 5,000 dollars.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although the citizen's house was built on the basis of a permit, the head of the institution claimed that the household was located close to the canal and evaluated it as an illegal construction.
