DUSHANBE, March 9, 2016, Asia-Plus – A chief surgeon at the hospital of the Main Border Directorate of the State Committee for National Security (SCNS) faces corruption charge.
According to the Agency for State Financial Control and Combating Corruption, Qahhor Sattorov has been caught red-handed while taking 16,000 somoni from local resident for exempting his son from military service.
