A 33-year-old man in Tashkent was sentenced for fraudulently obtaining loans in the names of his acquaintances. This was reported by Upl.uz.
As a result of the investigation, it was revealed that the owner of a construction company, facing financial difficulties, offered his former colleagues jobs at a non-existent company. For the purpose of processing documents, he collected their personal information and photographs, claiming that this information was necessary to create a personnel database and open bank cards for salaries.
In reality, this information was used to obtain illegal loans in the names of trustworthy citizens. As a result, the fraudster deceived at least four people, causing a total damage of 14 million 100 thousand soums.
This case was reviewed in the Mirzo-Ulugbek district court under Article 168, part three, clause "g" of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. According to the court's decision, the offender was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months of corrective labor with a 10 percent deduction from his salary for the benefit of the state, as he fully compensated for the damage caused.
