Individual was caught for fraudulently obtaining loans in the names of 9 people in Tashkent

In the city of Ohangaron, located in the Tashkent region, authorities identified the head of an LLC who took preferential loans in the names of nine citizens. This information was reported by the Department for Combating Economic Crimes under the General Prosecutor's Office.

During an investigation conducted by the Ohangaron city department focused on protecting the rights and interests of citizens, it was discovered that a citizen identified as A.A., who had a prior conviction under Article 167 of the Criminal Code, colluded with the heads of five LLCs. A.A. established a limited liability company named "N.I." and obtained a preferential loan of 357.1 million sums from a regional commercial bank branch in the names of nine citizens. He then cashed these funds through the aforementioned limited liability companies.

In response to this situation, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 167 of the Criminal Code (embezzlement or robbery by fraud), and investigations are currently underway.

It is worth noting that earlier, in Jizzakh, the deputy manager of a bank was sentenced to seven years in prison for taking loans in the names of others and using the funds for personal purposes.
