Major fraud case linked to land sale launched in Mirzo Ulug‘bek District

A major case of fraud involving the purchase of a plot of land is being investigated in Tashkent. A businessman named Samar wanted to buy land to build a shop, but instead of using official procedures, he trusted an acquaintance.

According to the information, X. G‘olibjon, born in 1985, told him he would help acquire the land through an auction. On the pretext of this promise, he took 89,000 US dollars from the businessman.

The suspect allegedly delayed the process under the pretext of preparing the documents. He then reportedly stopped responding and went into hiding.

In connection with the incident, the Investigation Department under the Mirzo Ulug‘bek District Department of Internal Affairs opened a criminal case against X. G‘olibjon under Article 168 of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan, namely “Fraud.”

Officials are urging entrepreneurs to use official trading platforms, including the E-auksion system, for matters related to land and property. Dealing through dubious intermediaries can lead to major financial losses.
