A fraudulent trader who embezzled 92 million UZS from a resident in Namangan has been apprehended, according to the Cybersecurity Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It was revealed that Sh.G., a resident of the Namangan region, filed a complaint stating that an unknown person had embezzled 92 million UZS from her bank card. Quick investigative measures determined that the crime was committed by R.N., a resident of the Namangan region who had previously been convicted of fraud.

R.N., who was involved in the investigation as a suspect, communicated with the victim Sh.G. via Telegram, claiming to be engaged in trading activities and promising to increase her money through the stock exchange. He deceitfully obtained 92 million UZS from the victim and used the money for his own needs instead of fulfilling his promises.

R.N. has been charged under Part 3 of Article 168 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code.

Earlier, it was reported that another individual was arrested for embezzling 27 million UZS by sending a fake link via Telegram.
