On March 9, the press service of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) reported the completion of an investigation into a corruption scheme related to the Republican Blood Center (RBC) of the Ministry of Health.

As part of the criminal case opened under Article 336, Part 1 ("Corruption"), investigators found that K.B.B., born in 1972, while serving as the director of the RBC, entered into a cooperation agreement with the head of LLC "M." According to the investigation, the purpose of this agreement was to illegally siphon off budget funds in large amounts, which facilitated the installation of expensive medical equipment at the Center, including the Cobas S201 PCR laboratory and the ARCHITECT Plus and ABBOTT laboratory.

Furthermore, K.B.B. signed a contract with LLC "M" for the supply of reagents for the PCR and IHL laboratories at the RBC. For five years, this company supplied reagents at inflated prices and also transferred a portion of the profits to the director as a "kickback."

According to the results of a financial and economic audit, from 2020 to 2025, the state suffered damages amounting to 36 million soms.

The former director was detained on March 5 and placed in the GKNB detention center, while the legal assessment regarding the head of LLC "M" is still pending.

The name K.B.B. corresponds to Karabaev Bakyt Baisalbekovich, who served as the director of the RBC from 2012 until August 2025.
