The Prosecutor's Office refuted the statement made by the Tashkent mayor's office regarding the mayor's assistant.

However, law enforcement agencies once again confirmed that all crimes were committed during his tenure in that position.

On February 3, 2025, it was reported that the assistant of the hokim of the Shaykhontahur district, M.F., was taking out loans in the name of 20 individuals and, using the obtained electronic keys, embezzled these funds. In total, he misappropriated over 600 million sums. He spent all the acquired money for his personal needs.

A criminal case was initiated regarding the incident under part 4 of article 168, clause "a," and other articles of the Criminal Code.

In response, the administration of the capital hokimiyat issued a denial, stating that "there is no official in Tashkent that matches this description." According to the provided information, the official was relieved of his position in November of last year at his own request.

However, shortly after, the General Prosecutor's Office made another statement, noting that the detained individual was the assistant hokim in the "Kamolon Darvoza" mahalla. He held this position from October 7, 2022, until his dismissal on December 14, 2024.

"Citizen M.F. committed the aforementioned actions precisely during his time as the assistant hokim," the prosecutor's office concluded.
