Former head of aiyl okmotu detained in connection with organised crime group financing

The State Committee for National Security (SCNS) reported the detention of G.Sh.M. (born in 1976), former head of the Mirmakhmudov aiyl okmotu. He is suspected of financing an organised criminal group headed by K. Dasonov, known as ‘Dzhengo’.

According to the investigation, through affiliated persons, G.Sh.M. received income from the commercial structure ‘Nookat Universal Bazaar’ and used it to support the criminal group.

During the course of the investigation, assets that actually belonged to the detainee have already been returned to the state:

• a plot of land with an area of 14,276.28 square metres, registered to ‘Nookat Universal Bazaar’;
• a 2005 Lexus GX470 car.

The investigation is ongoing. Work is underway to identify all participants and sources of funding for the organised criminal group.

The State Committee for National Security emphasises that the fight against organised crime and corruption is being conducted regardless of the positions and status of those involved.
