It was discovered that an unknown person in Bukhara region committed fraud by creating an account on the Telegram social network in the name of the head of an influential organization in the region. The regional Department of Internal Affairs reported on this.
Reportedly, the suspect, with the aim of gaining trust, posted photos belonging to the official on the page and presented himself as a high-ranking leader. He then sent messages to the heads of a number of enterprises and organizations operating in the region under the guise of a "service assignment".
He informed them that for various reasons he could not carry out the assignment himself and asked them to transfer money via plastic card to resolve the issue quickly. As a result, one of the organization heads believed his words and transferred 8 million soums to a bank card.
As a result of rapid search measures, it was established that this crime was committed by a citizen born in 1980 in Alat district, previously convicted several times, currently unemployed and residing in Kogon district.
Currently, his involvement in other similar crimes is being checked. Regarding the situation, a criminal case has been initiated under part 3, paragraph "g" of Article 168 of the Criminal Code, and the investigation is ongoing.
