Jamoliddin Nuraliev, the Tajik government official and Son-In-Law of country’s president, has denied any ties to a British Virgin Islands-registered firm Innovative Road Solutions, which is operating the toll road on Dushanbe-Chanak highway, – one of the main roads in Tajikistan. According to Deputy Finance Minister Nuraliev, they are not providing any funds for BVI company’s activities in Tajikistan. He also said that a government commission recently audited the activities of the company and did not discover anything illegal about them.
At the same time, it is reported by media that Innovative Road Solutions was registered in the BVI by a person named Jamoliddin Nuraliev.
The head of Tajikistan’s Antimonopoly Committee Amonulloh Ashur, who had already questioned company’s right to operate the only toll road in the country, said that the most important thing is that the company did not coordinate its pricing policy with the Committee.
In the opinion of Tajik economists, company’s registration in the BVI makes it difficult to follow its activities. Also, for some reasons the company was exempted from paying more than a dozen different taxes.
