Simultaneously, citizen of China Yang Hai has been appointed as financial director, for understandable reason. These persons started to work and use illegal methods as fraud, legalization of illegal income, sell low quality products, violate tax and customs legislation of Uzbekistan.

The sum was fully covered due to means of the company and the members of the group were punished appropriately.
