The sentence was read out to the person who defrauded people of 15 thousand dollars in order to send them to Hajj

The person who defrauded individuals of 15 thousand US dollars to fund their Hajj pilgrimage had the sentence read out to them, as reported by the courts in the Fergana region.

Buwayda A.J. assured a woman that her dream of sending her mother to Hajj would come true for 7,000 US dollars. Taking a 4,000 US dollar bribe, he claimed he would arrange the pilgrimage through the "Sheikh-777" tourist company.

Furthermore, another individual deceived the U.E. by promising to facilitate his parents' Hajj for 14,000 U.S. dollars through the same tourist company. He received 8,200 U.S. dollars from U.E., 1,000 U.S. dollars from O.A., and 1,500 U.S. dollars from H.U.

The culmination of A.J.'s fraudulent activities occurred on May 29, 2023, when law enforcement officers arrested him. Subsequently, the court found A.J. guilty of fraud under Article 25,168, part 3, clauses "a, b" of the Criminal Code and imposed the appropriate punishment.

It is important to note that the organization of Hajj and Umrah falls under the purview of the Religious Affairs Committee and the Office of Muslims, not tourism organizations.
