During investigative operations, the militia established that a 45-year-old resident of Istaravshan, engaged in illegal entrepreneurial activity, had, based on prior consultations with other persons, engaged in unregistered business activities involving the customs import of goods, including vehicles, in order to obtain tax exemption. Between 2022 and 2025, he imported more than 145 vehicles registered in the names of individuals and relatives from South Korea and offered them for sale. He obtained a particularly large income by evading tax in the amount of 650,319 somoni, causing significant damage to the state through his actions.
A criminal case has been opened against the suspect under Part 2 of Article 259 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan, and the investigation is ongoing.
