schema:articleBody	Uzbekistan's former security chief was jailed on Tuesday for 19 years on corruption charges, in a case that has exposed tensions within the Central Asian country's leadership. After a closed-door trial that began in June, the military court convicted Ikhtiyor Abdullayev for taking bribes, Uzbekistan's supreme court said in a statement. Former prosecutor Abdullayev had appeared to be a trusted figure when President Shavkat Mirziyoyev appointed him to head the KGB successor National Security Service in January 2018 -- but he was dismissed after just over a year. Mirziyoyev, who took over after the death of authoritarian leader Islam Karimov in 2016, has been credited with opening Central Asia's most populous country to tourism, foreign investment and cautious reform. He tapped Abdullayev to lead the security service and replace Rustam Innoyatov, who was widely blamed for rights abuses and was thought to oppose Mirziyoyev's reform. However, Abdullayev has now received his second heavy criminal sentence in the year since his dismissal. In September last year, he was given 18 years for various customs violations and organised crime activities in a case that saw hundreds of victims testify. His former deputy, Jahongir Egamov, also received heavy sentences in both cases. Observers said Abdullayev had sought to move beyond his role as security service chief -- even suggesting he had organised surveillance of Mirziyoyev. Analyst Rafael Sattarov told AFP that Abdullayev had "paid the price" for using his position to try to spy on the president. "He intrigued against the president. He organised surveillance and wiretapping of the president," said Sattarov. Mirziyoyev's reforms are yet to reach the political system -- parliamentary elections in December lacked opposition parties and respect for rights, international observers said. sk-cr/sjw/jxb
