In the Andijan region, employees of the Mandatory Enforcement Bureau resorted to an unusual method to apprehend an individual who had evaded alimony payments. This was reported by Upl.uz.
This citizen had failed to fulfill his obligations to provide for his underage children for two years. During this period, his debt to the family reached 59 million soums.
After traditional methods proved ineffective in locating the debtor, the enforcement bureau employees utilized digital technologies. They created an account under a fake girl's name on the popular Telegram messenger and began communicating with the debtor.
Once the virtual acquaintance reached a certain stage, the "girl" suggested meeting at a café in the city. When the man agreed and arrived at the designated location, he was apprehended by law enforcement officers waiting for him.
Currently, the Mandatory Enforcement Bureau is conducting extensive measures to fully recover the debtor's obligations to his children. This case is part of the broader efforts being carried out throughout the republic.
According to official data, since the beginning of 2025, the total amount collected by the enforcement bureau has reached 25.6 trillion soums. This figure is nearly two trillion soums higher than the corresponding period in 2024.
Special attention is being paid to the collection of alimony. For the material needs of underage children, 1.3 trillion soums have been collected.
A total of 11.7 billion soums has been transferred through the state's "Alimony Payments" special fund for 271 beneficiaries. Additionally, the bureau is actively assisting in addressing the unemployment issue among individuals evading alimony payments.
As a result of the measures taken, 25,113 citizens who had alimony obligations but lacked a stable source of income have been provided with employment. One of the important directions of the Mandatory Enforcement Bureau is also conducting explanatory and mediation work.
Through this, since the beginning of the year, efforts have been made to stabilize half of the 13,200 divorced families. Uzbek legislation provides for the possibility of paying alimony in advance, that is, for the entire duration until the child reaches adulthood.
This payment can be made not only in cash but also in the form of transferring valuable movable or immovable property to the child.
