In particular, N.G., M.G, who were actually family members of the general secretary of the federation A.G., and 15 other citizens, who were not members of the national team, were sent to Türkiye for a vacation. As a result, 405 million UZS were looted.

Also, 458 million soums were embezzled by issuing false orders about training camps that were not actually held.

In addition, 1.2 billion soums allocated by sponsors to the federation for holding international competitions and training sessions were spent without purpose and embezzled.
