Recently, media outlets released video recordings of an investigation by the State Tax Service titled "Oil for Themselves: How Kyrgyzneftegaz Was Ruined," which discusses possible corrupt actions by employees of OJSC "Kyrgyzneftegaz."

According to the obtained data, employees of the enterprise, abusing their powers in collaboration with affiliated companies, created illegal schemes for the sale and distribution of fuel and lubricants (F&L), reports the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kyrgyzstan.

During the inspection, it was revealed that officials, recognizing the strategic importance of OJSC "Kyrgyzneftegaz" and its full ownership by the state, acted contrary to their duties to ensure its effective operation in the interest of society.

Against the backdrop of rising prices for F&L in the republic, instead of taking measures to improve the situation, they colluded with unidentified representatives of state bodies responsible for oversight in this area. This created conditions for the actions of certain related companies that sought to gain illegal profits, including through tax evasion and other mandatory payments.

In this regard, the Investigative Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs initiated a criminal case under Article 336 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic concerning corruption.

Currently, necessary investigative actions are being carried out with the involvement of specialists from the State Tax Service, aimed at a complete and objective investigation of all circumstances of the case, as well as identifying and holding accountable those responsible.

This information was first published in a report by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kyrgyzstan regarding the initiation of a criminal case on corruption in OJSC "Kyrgyzneftegaz" on the K-News website.
