DUSHANBE, August 7, 2014, Asia-Plus — The Gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) police are looking for an employee of Orienbonk’s branch in Khorog, who disappeared on July 29, according to the Interior Ministry’s office in Shugnan district.
“Mehrali Nazaraliyev disappeared in unexplained circumstances not far from the village of Yomj,” said a source at the Interior Ministry’s office in Shugnan. “His car with open doors was found on the bank of the Panj River not far from Yomj.”
According to him, 800 somoni, 700 U.S. dollars and mobile phone were found in Nazaraliyev’s car. “Colleagues of Mehrali Nazaraliyev and family members say he received 52,700 U.S. dollars from his sister, who is working in Moscow, and she asked him to put the money in a bank account in Orienbonk’s branch in Khorog. But Nazaraliyev put only 16,000 U.S. dollars in the bank account and lent the remaining sum out at interest. Recently, his sister asked him to give her money back and family members consider that disappearance of Mehrali is connected with the collection of the money he lent out at interest.”
But Mehrali’s colleagues and family members do not know people whom he lent the money, the source said.
