In the Kasansay district of the Namangan region, a person who illegally smuggled gold worth 1.1 billion soums from Kyrgyzstan to Uzbekistan was detained. This was reported during a joint operation conducted by the State Security Service Department for Namangan region, border troops, and the regional Department of Internal Affairs.
During the operation, it was established that a resident of the Kasansay district, on the instructions of his uncle, illegally imported gold ingots weighing 1 kg 168 g from Kyrgyzstan by detour routes. The estimated value of this gold is 1.1 billion soums.
During this operation, conducted in cooperation with the State Security Service and other law enforcement agencies, the individual was caught red-handed while delivering the gold to another relative.
