A person was arrested in Tashkent who gave money in exchange for interest and seized the houses of debtors

In Tashkent, an individual who provided money in exchange for interest and confiscated the properties of debtors has been apprehended. The capital's General Directorate of Internal Affairs reported the arrest of a citizen engaged in seizing debtors' houses.

Tohirjon Abdumalikov Abdugappor ogli, born in 1993, has been arrested on suspicion of committing crimes related to extortion and fraud, as part of an ongoing investigation under Article 165 and Article 168 of the Criminal Code by the Tashkent HDIA Investigative Department. He has been subject to imprisonment as a preventive measure.

Investigations revealed that this individual lent money to citizens with interest, securing the borrowed amount by registering their housing and vehicles in his name. Families were forcibly evicted, and vehicles confiscated if debts and interest were not paid on time. Notably, the pledged property exceeded the money lent by 3-4 times.

"If you have suffered from or possess information about this individual's criminal activities, please contact the numbers 71-206-45-69, 71-206-49-46, or 102. Alternatively, reach out via Telegram at 94. The identity of the informant will be kept confidential," states the application.

It's worth noting that in Tashkent, the individual previously convicted and incarcerated committed another crime within the prison colony.
