A group that deceived more than 600 citizens in Tashkent was caught

A cyber group engaged in deceiving citizens via the internet was exposed in the Tashkent region. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The information was provided by the Main Department of Internal Affairs. According to the data, four individuals who offered a "limit service" through Telegram and Instagram fraudulently obtained over 1 billion soums in total from nearly 600 citizens.

A person named B.N., born in 2005, and his partners gained the trust of citizens by promising to convert credit limits obtained from microfinance organizations into cash.

They conducted operations on online trading platforms through a company they established, directing the funds for their own benefit. As a result of rapid measures taken by the internal affairs authorities, the illegal activities of this group were stopped.

Currently, a criminal case has been initiated against the suspects under Article 168, Part 4, Clause "a" (fraud) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The suspects have been detained, and investigations are ongoing to recover the damages caused and to identify other participants.
