A fraudster who deceived a citizen dreaming of working abroad and embezzled a large sum of money has been apprehended in Jizzakh city.
During a special operation conducted in cooperation with the city department of the Anti-Corruption Agency under the Prosecutor General's Office and the State Security Service, a previously convicted citizen N.B. was arrested.
It has been revealed that he introduced himself as a "trustworthy person" and promised citizen Sh.K. that he would "send him to work in the United States through Mexico." Trusting him, the citizen handed over nearly 11,200 US dollars and 50 million soums to secure a high-paying job abroad.
However, during the operation organized to expose the suspicious situation, N.B. was caught red-handed while receiving that very money with material evidence.
Currently, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 168 (fraud) of the Criminal Code regarding this incident, and investigative actions have begun.
Law enforcement agencies urge citizens to be vigilant in such situations and not to give large sums of money to individuals without any official guarantees and who are untrustworthy.
What do you think about this issue? What measures could be effective?
