The State Security Service detained two men in Samarkand who promised to send citizens to the United States illegally.

In particular, a 28-year-old resident of the Urgut district promised a 24-year-old citizen that he would send him to the USA through Spain and Mexico for $25,000.

At the time of receiving part of the money ($10,000), the fraudster was detained.

In another case, a 35-year-old resident of the Samarkand region convinced a 51-year-old resident that he could send him to the US through Türkiye, the UAE and Mexico. He was detained while receiving $10,000 out of the $30,000 he had requested.

Criminal cases have been initiated against the detainees under Article 168 of the Criminal Code (Fraud). An investigation is underway.
