The brick production plant in the city of Olmalyk that used illegal gas was disconnected from the gas supply for production needs on November 29, 2022. The press service of the Ministry of Energy reported that a criminal case has been lodged.
However, it shamelessly reconnected to the natural gas pipeline using illegitimately 118,282 cubic meters of natural gas, causing damage to 118 million soums.
On December 9, the city prosecutor's office initiated a criminal case against the officials of "Almaliq Gishtchi" LLC and "Almaliqshahargaz" branch.
The social media blasted when the message saying "Tashkent regional prosecutor asked not to turn off the brick factory illegally connected to the gas network" revealed that the head of the regional gas supply organization applied to the prosecutor's office asking to use the methane gas. He explained that by the fact that it was included in the list of product exporters which turned out to be fake. Based on the established facts, investigations are being conducted against him too.
At the moment, the Ministry of Energy, in close cooperation with the General Prosecutor's Office, is taking strict measures on all discovered facts related to the illegal use of energy resources," the ministry said in a statement.
