In Andijan, women were detained with gold bars hidden at the border

An attempt to illegally export goods from the country's territory was prevented in the Andijan region. During an operational event conducted jointly by the regional department of the State Security Service and customs officers, the illegal act was stopped. Such cases indicate that control over ensuring economic security and combating illicit trafficking is being strengthened.

A resident of the Balikchi district, born in 1985, and her daughter, born in 2006, were detained while attempting to smuggle gold bars of non-standard appearance through the "Dustlik" border customs post in the Khojaabad district. It was revealed that they attempted to smuggle a total of 7 gold bars weighing 473 grams, hiding them under their clothes.

During the operation, this violation was revealed in a timely manner, and the illegal export plan failed. All evidence regarding the incident was officially documented by law enforcement agencies. This means that control measures at border posts are strong and suspicious actions are not overlooked.

Currently, a criminal case has been initiated against the offenders under Article 182 of the Criminal Code, which is a violation of customs legislation. Currently, the investigation is ongoing, and a legal assessment of all aspects of the incident is being conducted.

The responsible agencies urge not to be indifferent to such cases. If you encounter such violations or observe suspicious situations, you can contact the short number 1520 of the State Security Service. According to officials, the confidentiality of the applicant's identity is guaranteed.
