Three people suspected of fraud were arrested in Tashkent

Three individuals suspected of committing real estate fraud have been arrested in Tashkent, according to the City Department of Internal Affairs.

As part of an ongoing criminal case under Article 168 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan ("Fraud"), the following individuals are suspected of being involved in a series of crimes:

- Sardor Farhodovich Rominov, born in 1989
- Yoldashev Bakhtiyar Habibullaevich, born in 1990
- Timur Rustamovich Husaynov, born in 1993

It is reported that these individuals lent money to citizens at interest and registered residential and other immovable properties in their own names as collateral. If the borrowers failed to repay their debts and interest on time, they would evict them from their homes and seize their properties. In many cases, the value of the mortgaged property was 3-4 times higher than the amount loaned.

Additionally, after signing loan or sales contracts with citizens, the suspects provided less money than originally agreed upon.

"For example, if a citizen requested $100,000 with interest, after signing a sale or loan agreement, the suspects would only give around $65,000 to $70,000. They claimed that the remaining money was for brokerage fees and other expenses, and falsely promised to reduce interest payments and overlook delayed payments," the report stated.

During the investigation, Rominov, Yoldashev, and Husaynov were arrested on suspicion of committing fraud. A precautionary measure in the form of imprisonment has been applied to them.

"Dear citizens, if you have been affected by these individuals or have any information regarding their criminal activities, please contact the Tashkent City IIBB at 71-206-40-97, 102, or Telegram number 90-976-28-21. Your identity will remain confidential," the statement said.

We remind you that in April, Obid Aripovich Sharipov, born in 1977, along with his partners Akhtam Akhmadovich Osimov, born in 1982, and Azizbek Alijonovich Samandarov, born in 1989, were found to have committed fraud through their company "MAX-HOUSE-GROUP" LLC. Sharipov was arrested, while Osimov and Samandarov remain wanted.
