Law enforcement officers detain fraudsters illegally sending Uzbeks to the US
Criminal cases have been opened and investigations are being carried out.
Reportedly, a man in the Chinoz district promised help to his acquaintance with departure to the United States through illegal routes. He demanded $16,000 for his “service” and was caught red-handed while receiving $3,000 of the agreed amount, the prosecutor’s office said.
In another case, a previously committed man offered the same service to a Tashkent resident, demanding $10,000 for his illegal migration to the US. Police detained him with physical evidence while he was taking $3,200 in advance.
Currently, criminal cases have been initiated against the fraudsters under articles 168 (fraud) and 211 (bribery) of the Criminal Code. Investigations are being conducted.
