Law enforcement agencies carried out operative activities in the Andijan and Samarkand regions and initiated criminal cases.
According to the Department of the Prosecutor General’s Office, an operative event was carried out jointly with the State Security Service.
Citizen O.Sh. fraudulently agreed to sell 80 hectares of non-residential land on the territory of the “Ittifok” mahalla of the Oltinkul district to citizen A.B. for $160,000. He told the buyer that he allegedly had to give another $10,000 for his friends working in the cadastral department, who would formalize the deal. The wrongdoer was caught red-handed while receiving $50,000 as an advance.
Also, during an operative event carried out jointly with the SSS and the Samarkand regional DIA, citizen Sh.E., who was going to sell 2.1 hectares of land in the Payarik district for $36,000, was caught red-handed while receiving $20,000.
