A group engaged in online fraud has been exposed in the Tashkent region

In the Tashkent region, individuals who misused the trust of citizens via the internet and embezzled almost 1 billion 32 million soums were detained. This was reported by the Cybersecurity Service of the Regional Department of Internal Affairs.

It is reported that the suspects opened a page on Telegram and Instagram under the name \"limitation service\" and promised to cash out the credit limits allocated to citizens from various microfinance organizations.

But behind these promises lies a well-thought-out fraudulent scheme. During the investigation, it was established that a resident of the Akhangaran district, B.N., born in 2005, and his three accomplices, operating on online trading platforms through a business entity they registered, fraudulently embezzled the money received from citizens.

As a result, 600 citizens were injured, and the total damage amounted to more than a billion soums.

Law enforcement agencies have initiated a criminal case under Article 168, Part 4, Clause \"a\" (fraud) of the Criminal Code. According to the court decision, a preventive measure in the form of \"detention\" was applied to the suspects.
