The investigation established that K.B.B., who served as the director of the RBC from 2012 until August 2025, conspired with the head of a private company, LLC M. In 2020, expensive medical equipment was installed at the center, including PCR and IHL laboratories from manufacturers Cobas and Abbott. Later, the former director signed a contract with this company for the supply of reagents, which were purchased at inflated prices over a period of five years. As a result, the RBC director regularly received "kickbacks" from the supplier.
An analysis of the financial and economic activities of the institution from 2020 to 2025 showed that the actions of K.B.B. and the management of LLC M caused the state a loss of 36 million soms. On March 5, 2026, the former director of the Republican Blood Center was detained and placed in the SCNS detention center.
Investigative actions are ongoing, and law enforcement agencies are conducting operational measures to identify other officials who may have been involved in this corruption scheme. A legal assessment of the actions of the head of the private company will be provided during the further investigation.
