Individuals who promised overseas jobs were arrested

Authorities in Tashkent and Samarkand have arrested individuals who fraudulently collected money from citizens, promising to send them abroad for work. This was reported by the Department for Combating Economic Crimes under the General Prosecutor's Office.

In a coordinated operation involving the Chilonzor District Department, State Security Service, and Internal Affairs Department, two individuals, identified as A.N. and D.I., gained the trust of citizen A.J. and promised to send him to the United States for work through unofficial channels. They were caught red-handed while accepting $14,000 as payment for their services.

Additionally, during a pre-investigation conducted by the Koshrabot District Department, it was discovered that citizen F.U. had been deceived by Q.H. and S.K., who collected 5 million soums from him under similar false promises.

Criminal cases have been initiated under Article 168 (Fraud) and Article 28, 211 (Bribery) of the Criminal Code, and investigations are currently underway.

This follows a similar case in the Namangan and Samarkand regions, where individuals promising jobs in the USA were also apprehended.
