During the
pre-investigation check conducted by the Department of the Department of the
General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Uzbekistan for the Karshi
district, it was established that the former chairman of the mahalla gathering
of citizens "Yangi Honobod" K.R., together with his son I.N., used
the personal data of citizens for mercenary purposes.
As it
turned out, six residents who contacted the mahalla on various issues became
victims of illegal actions. Using their passport data and forged signatures,
the attackers arranged the purchase of various household appliances on credit
through an online store. After that, the purchased goods were sold for cash,
and they appropriated the loan funds in the amount of 187.4 million soums and
used them for their own needs.
A criminal
case has been opened on this fact on the grounds of crimes provided for in
article 168 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan (fraud) and
article 228 of the Criminal Code (manufacture, forgery, sale of documents,
stamps, seals, letterheads or their use).
Investigative
measures are currently being carried out to establish all the circumstances of
the incident.
