DUSHANBE, October 12, 2010, Asia-Plus — Investigation into case of Fayzullo Bobokhonov, the son of former Tajik Prosecutor-General Bobokhon Bobojonov, is going on.
In a report released at a news conference in Dushanbe, Prosecutor-General Sherkhon Salimzoda revealed on October 12 that investigation has established that Fayzullo Bobokhonov, a former chief prosecutor of Hissar district, has been involved in at least 13 cases related to bribery, office abuse, misuse of powers, etc.
“As far as former Prosecutor-General Bobojon Bobkhonov is concerned, he is in retirement,” Salimzoda added.
We will recall that former chief prosecutor of Hissar district Fayzullo Bobokhonov was arrested in Dushanbe on July 23 on corruption charges. His arrest followed the dismissal of 15 regional prosecutors amid graft allegations over the past six months.
Fayzullo Bobokhonov was charged with being an accomplice in a bribe-taking incident involving $20,000 while serving as chief prosecutor of Hissar. He was dismissed from that position earlier this year, shortly after his father retired as prosecutor-general after serving for 10 years.
