According to the Press Service of the Tashkent City Police Department, an employee of "Mahdiy turizm" LLC, born in 1995, A.Zh., promised to send four citizens on a “Hajj” pilgrimage, in Tashkent city's Uchtepa district.
Knowing that the LLC did not have a license to engage in this type of activity, A.Zh. was caught in the act of fraudulently obtaining $27,200 US dollars from them, with material evidence.
Another illegal case was recorded in the capital's Shaykhontohur district. The director of "Sohil turizm" LLC, born in 1991, S.N., gained the trust of two citizens by promising to send them on a “Hajj” pilgrimage, and despite not having a license for this type of activity, was detained while receiving $10,000 US dollars, in the presence of witnesses.
The documents gathered on these cases have been submitted to the Economic Crimes Department for legal decision-making.
"Dear citizens, if you have been harmed by these individuals or tourist companies, we ask you to contact the Tashkent City Police Department at the number 71-206-43-02 or through 102," the report says.
