Suspects attempting to circulate 195 thousand counterfeit dollars arrested (video)

The introduction of nearly 195 thousand counterfeit US dollars into circulation was prevented in the Jizzakh and Namangan regions and Tashkent city. This was reported by the State Security Service.

It is noted that a citizen born in 1999, a resident of the Tashkent region, and his partner, born in 1998, a resident of Tashkent city, gained the trust of a resident of Jizzakh city through social networks and agreed to sell him 50 thousand US dollars in counterfeit 100 US dollar bills for 65 million sums.

They then traveled to Jizzakh city and contacted the buyer by phone. They informed him that they would leave the counterfeit money in a secret location in the city and received 39 million 200 thousand sums of the agreed amount in advance via a plastic card.

However, they were caught in the Dustlik district while returning to Tashkent, deceiving the buyer by not leaving the counterfeit currency at the designated place. 51 thousand US dollars in counterfeit money were seized as material evidence from the car they were driving.

In another case, two individuals, born in 1949 and 1984, living in the Bukhara region, and a citizen born in 1981, living in Tashkent, were arrested while colluding to sell 50 thousand US dollars in counterfeit 100 dollar bills made abroad for 25 thousand US dollars in real money.

“It should be emphasized that all three of them have previous convictions,” the report says.

Also, in Tashkent, a person born in 1997, living in the Hazorasp district of the Khorezm region, was detained while selling 45,000 US dollars worth of counterfeit 50 and 100 US dollar bills to a buyer for 25,000 US dollars, compared to the real price.

Additionally, a person born in 1983, living in Tashkent, and a previously convicted citizen born in 1994, living in the Parkent district of the Tashkent region, were detained while selling 10,000 US dollars worth of counterfeit bills to a buyer for 8,000 US dollars, compared to the real price.

Based on the testimony of a person born in 1991, living in the Chartak district of the Namangan region, and a previously convicted citizen, his two accomplices, born in 1995 and 2001, were detained while selling 30,000 US dollars worth of counterfeit money to a buyer for 19,500 US dollars, compared to the real price.

When the apartment of a citizen born in 1991, residing in the city of Namangan, was searched, 88 counterfeit US$50 bills and 44 counterfeit US$100 bills, totaling 8,800 US dollars, were found and seized as material evidence.

Currently, criminal cases have been initiated against these individuals on all counts, and investigations are ongoing.

It should be recalled that earlier, a criminal group was detained in a residential building in the Tashkent region, which used 100,000 sums to create counterfeit money worth 28 million 300,000 sums.
