On September 3, a criminal case was opened against the "AIF" platform on social networks, based on a complaint filed by a group of citizens with the Khorezm Regional Department of Internal Affairs.

It was noted that the platform had "suspended its activities for unknown reasons" and caused significant financial damage to the complainants.

The Investigation Department under the Khorezm Regional Department of Internal Affairs has initiated a criminal case under Article 188-1, Part 3, Clauses "a, v" (Illegal Activities Related to the Attraction of Funds and Other Property) of the Criminal Code.

A special investigative group, composed of qualified investigators from regional internal affairs bodies, has been formed to identify the criminal incident and the individuals responsible, as well as to conduct a thorough and efficient investigation.

The investigation team is currently working to identify the number of victims and the amount of damage caused within the framework of this criminal case.

The Investigation Department under the Khorezm Regional Department of Internal Affairs has requested that individuals who have suffered financial damage as a result of using this platform contact the following numbers: 62 224-56-81 and 62 224-56-85.
