KHUJAND, June 3, 2011, Asia-Plus — The Prosecutor-General’s Office of Tajikistan has instituted criminal proceedings against Norkuzi Yuldoshev, chairman of the H.Turayev Farm in Panjakent district, Sughd province.
The source at the Sughd police directorate says the preliminary investigation has established that Yuldoshev and foreman from the mentioned farming unit Ural Sattorov received 2,900 U.S. dollars from resident of the Sarazm Jamoat, Ms. K.S., for allotment of a 0.6 ha parcel to her for housing. “They, however, did not allot the land parcel to K.S. and spent the money for their own needs,” he added.
