Investigators from the IAAC have transferred large sums of bribes seized during criminal investigations to the state treasury account of the Ministry of Finance.
On April 14, 2021, the Supreme Court ruled on the case of N. Bayarsaikhan, who received a large amount of bribes from citizens and business entities during his tenure as head of the division of the Specialized Inspection Agency.

As a result, 230.8 million tugriks, USD 152.177, as well as, 70 thousand yuan were confiscated by the investigators. The court decided to transfer the confiscated assets to the State treasury as there are grounds to consider the assets as proceeds from the crime specified in the Criminal Code.
