Part of the charges against former Minister of Agriculture Aziz Voitov stem from his time as Chairman of the Board of “Uzsanoatqurilishbank” JSC. The indictment reveals that more than 200 billion UZS in credit funds, budget money, and state interests were misappropriated. Voitov is accused of carrying out these actions with the help of his classmate, father-in-law, and other close associates.
Kun.uz reviewed the indictment involving Aziz Voitov and two others. It indicates that during his time as Chairman of the Board of “Uzsanoatqurilishbank” JSC, Voitov engaged in embezzlement, misappropriation, abuse of office, exceeding his authority, and official fraud.
From December 13, 2017, to March 11, 2020, Voitov served as Chairman of the Board of “Uzsanoatqurilishbank” JSC. He later held the position of Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the same bank and, from August 2022 to September 2023, was Minister of Agriculture.
The charges also detail that on June 23, 2016, Voitov established “Lanell Group” LLC under the name of his classmate A. Urunboev but managed it informally through his father-in-law, A. Karimov, and his spouse, G. Voitova. Voitov secured 21.7 billion UZS in credit from the Academic Branch of the National Bank of Foreign Economic Activity. Despite the plan to repay the credit through yarn production, the funds were embezzled.
Additionally, as Chairman of “Uzsanoatqurilishbank” JSC, Voitov unlawfully secured a 600,000-euro credit without collateral for “Lanell Group” LLC and extended the repayment period multiple times, misappropriating the amount.
Further schemes involved awarding construction contracts without tenders and inflating prices, resulting in the misappropriation of 32.4 billion UZS from the bank. To cover up these losses, Voitov sold apartments built with misappropriated funds to bank employees on favorable terms, further damaging the bank’s financial interests.
The indictment also highlights that Voitov, as Minister of Agriculture, caused 133.6 billion UZS in damages by ordering the illegal demolition of buildings, including an administrative facility and dormitories.
Voitov admitted partial guilt during the investigation but claimed to be unaware of some of the fraudulent activities attributed to him. He expressed regret for certain decisions, particularly regarding demolition orders made during his term as Minister of Agriculture.
A trial involving Voitov and 49 others has begun, though it will proceed behind closed doors, despite calls from the Anti-Corruption Agency for an open hearing.
