A 21-year-old man studying at one of the universities in Tashkent announced on social networks that he could help citizens sell their kidneys, liver, and bone marrow. He was arrested when accepting $350 for expenses after informing one of the applicants that there was a buyer for his kidney, requiring him to go to Germany for the operation. This was disclosed in one of the sessions of the Shaykhontohur district court handling criminal cases. 

A respondent who read the student's announcement stated his willingness to sell one of his kidneys. The student then informed the donor that he would be paid $38,000 for the kidney, that the transplant operation would take place in Germany, and that he needed to pay $350 before the trip. The student was arrested during a rapid operation when he received this money.

According to the court verdict, the student in his announcement mentioned buying a human kidney for $38,000, liver for $43,000 and bone marrow for $23,000 .

The student was arrested by the law enforcement officers on April 26, 2024, in the Shaykhontohur district when receiving the agreed amount from a citizen. Pretrial detention was applied as a precautionary measure against him.

In court, the student justified his actions by stating he was in need of money. He confessed that he didn't have any contacts in Germany, intended to use the $350 for personal needs, and planned to return it afterwards. He also mentioned that he, his brother, and sister were students and all of them were studying on a contract basis, requesting the court for leniency.

By the verdict of the court, the student was found guilty of committing the crime provided for by Article 25- (preparation for a crime and attempted crime), and part 1 of Article 133-1 (trafficking in human organs and (or) tissues) of the Criminal Code. He was sentenced to 3 years of restricted freedom.
