Officers of the Tashkent City Directorate of the State Security Service, together with employees of the Department under the Prosecutor General’s Office, conducted an оперативно-search operation during which a senior inspector for the prevention of offenses of the Uchtepa district (born in 1995) was detained. According to the agencies, he was detained at the moment of illegally receiving USD 10,000 from a citizen, and material evidence was seized.

As established, the inspector demanded the money, promising to open a criminal case and bring to liability a man (born in 1990) who, according to the complainant, in December 2025 obtained USD 450,000 from a foreign citizen by fraud—allegedly through falsifying LLC documents and under the pretext of providing IT services. At the same time, during the pre-investigation review it was found that in February of this year the internal affairs bodies had made a decision to refuse to open a criminal case on the fact of fraud related to the указанным LLC. 

A criminal case has been opened against the detained person; investigative actions are ongoing.
