Turkmenistan’s Supreme Court has convicted ten senior central bank officials of bribery and sentenced them to long jail sentences as part of a crackdown on corruption in the country. The officials were found guilty of extorting about $4.8m worth of bribes from construction companies, state media reported. Four of the convicted men, including Byashim Begdzhanov, the former head of international operations at the bank, received 15-year jail sentences, the country’s maximum penalty for economic crimes.
