The State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (SCNS) stated that officials of the Tax Service Department for Leninsky district of Bishkek, in collusion with private entrepreneurs, created a corruption mechanism for evading mandatory tax payments.
According to the security services, facts of transferring funds to the head of the inspection department have been established. According to the testimony of the chief inspector of the same department, its head received a bribe of $5,000 from representatives of T.
