Two health inspectors found guilty of soliciting bribes for favors.
In the city of Aktau, located in western Kazakhstan, a court has slapped penalties on B. Shaghalbaev, the acting head of the regional sanitary and epidemiological control department, and his deputy N. Doshanov. The Anti-Corruption Service (ACS in the streets) gossips that these findings were presented by Aktau's Court No. 2.
Apparently, these fellows were caught with their hands in the cookie jar, receiving a hefty bribe of 1 million tenge paid by the boss of a commercial organization, all in exchange for a license in disinfection, disinfestation, and deratization services.
The court scrutinized the situation, found the officials guilty of bribe-taking, and the entrepreneur guilty of bribery. Punishments were meted out in the form of a fine running from 20 to 35 million tenge, with a lifetime ban on holding any positions in the state service, judiciary, or local government bodies.
However, the verdict hasn't yet been stamped as legal yet.
