In particular, the chief specialist of the Namangan branch of the Migration Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers, using his official position, fraudulently gained the trust of a group of citizens and received 41 thousand US dollars from them for sending them to work in South Korea. He was detained with physical evidence.
During the pre-investigation check, it was established that he carried out illegal activities jointly with the chief specialist of the Agency's central office. In the course of further events, this employee was detained while receiving 15,000 US dollars from the above amount.
In addition, it turned out that these Agency employees received over 700 thousand US dollars from more than 80 citizens back in 2024, allegedly for sending them to work in Korea, but so far they have left them without fulfilling their promises.
According to this fact, the Investigative Department of the State Security Service of Uzbekistan has opened a criminal case against these persons under Articles 168 and 28, 211 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Work is underway to identify other members of the criminal group and bring them to the investigation.
The State Security Service reminds citizens that all suspicious offers related to employment abroad can be reported to the State Security Service's Call Center at the short number 1520.
