ULAN BATOR, Aug 12 (NNN-MONGOLIAWEB) – Former Mongolian legislator, Batbayar Undarmaa, was sentenced yesterday, to two years and six months in prison, for abuse of power.
The 56-year-old served as a parliament member from 2016 to 2020.
Undarmaa was found guilty of abusing his power, to obtain a low-interest loan of 700 million Mongolian tugriks (245,800 U.S. dollars), from a fund aimed at developing small- and medium-sized enterprises.
Mongolia has been intensifying its efforts against criminal cases, related to abuse of power and corruption.
Since the beginning of this year, the country has sentenced more than 20 high-ranking officials, including three former prime ministers — Mendsaikhan Enkhsaikhan, Jargaltulga Erdenebat and Sanj Bayar — to prison.– NNN-MONGOLIAWEB
