A sentence has been passed in the Zhambyl region on the chief specialist of the state revenue department S. Ukimbayev. Along with him in the dock were residents of Taraz, E. Muradov and T. Teleuov.
According to the press service of the regional prosecutor's office, Muradov and Teleuov were found guilty of giving a bribe to officials of the city finance department in the amount of $200,000 (102.4 million tenge), and Ukimbayev of acting as an intermediary in bribery.
It is reported that the bribe was intended for the release of previously confiscated tobacco products that were due to be destroyed.
By the court's verdict, Muradov was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment, Teleuov to 9 years' imprisonment, and Ukimbayev to 3 years' imprisonment.
Furthermore, Ukimbayev was given a lifetime ban from holding positions in the civil service and in quasi-public sector entities. The judicial act has not yet entered into legal force.
Recall that in March, an employee of the state revenue department of the Mangystau region was suspended from his post for placing bets at a bookmaker's office.
