According to the security service, in 2020, K.B.B., who held the position of director of the center, entered into a preliminary agreement with a private company and signed a contract for the supply of laboratory equipment and reagents.

During the investigation, it was established that over a period of five years, reagents were supplied at inflated prices, and part of the funds received from these supplies was transferred to the director in the form of "kickbacks".
According to calculations, the damage caused to the state from 2020 to 2025 amounts to 36 million soms.
On March 5, the former director was placed in the SCNS detention facility, and investigative actions are ongoing to identify other officials involved in this corruption scheme.
