Last week, Prosecutor-General's Office of Uzbekistan said that the damage from the criminal activities of MTS Uzbekistan top managers was 500 billion soums.

Prosecutor-General's Office added that it is continuing to investigate criminal case against top managers of Uzdunrobita, which was the largest mobile communication operator of Uzbekistan before its license was suspended for 10 working days on 17 July 2012.

The press service of Prosecutor-General's Office said that investigators have evidence, which proves that management of Uzdunrobita and its subsidiaries had a criminal group, which was formed based on family and relative principles.

The criminal group created many schemes on decreasing taxation base, increasing cost of imported equipment and materials, hiding currency and illegal cashing “shadow” income, operating without license.

Investigators found several “shadow” structures, which were used in criminal actions of top managers of Uzdunrobita and revealed facts of groundless transfer of large sums to accounts of “one-day” firms for supposedly rendered services and works.
