A 21-year-old young man was detained in the Navoi region for actively collaborating with international fraudsters and deceiving unsuspecting citizens.
According to the investigation, the detainee set up a scheme to supply SIM cards from local operators to fraudulent groups on Telegram. These fraudsters used the cards to obtain confirmation codes for transactions, hack accounts, and steal money. For each completed task, the detainee received monetary rewards.
In addition, he engaged in illegal cryptocurrency trading. Through Telegram, the perpetrator purchased various cryptocurrencies, which he then converted into Uzbek sums via a Binance account. This approach allowed him to conceal the traces of his activities.
“I regret my actions,” the detainee said during the investigation. However, this does not negate the fact that his actions caused significant harm to trusting citizens.
A criminal case has been initiated, and investigative actions are currently underway. Law enforcement emphasizes that the perpetrator knowingly participated in an organized scheme that caused financial harm to the residents of Uzbekistan.
