A criminal case has been initiated against the founder of Strong Cities LLC and his associates, who promised citizens the construction of houses and embezzled large sums of money through fraudulent means. This was reported by the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs.
According to the information, citizen T.N. and others established Strong Cities LLC on August 11, 2021, and without formalizing the relevant regulatory documents or registering with the territorial control inspection, they gained the trust of several citizens by promising to construct a multi-story building and sell apartments in it on a land plot located on Usta Olim Street in Almazar District.
Contrary to the requirements established by law, T.N. did not open a separate account in a servicing bank and, during 2023-2024, entered into contracts and fraudulently obtained large sums of money from citizens.
An inspection conducted by the Territorial Control Inspection in the field of construction and housing and communal services in Tashkent City revealed that the site had only cadastral documents for the land, while the necessary documents for construction and installation work were absent.
As a result, a notice was sent in accordance with the established procedure, and construction and installation work was halted. Additionally, due to the site not meeting seismic safety requirements, the construction organization voluntarily carried out dismantling work on the site.
In connection with this situation, a criminal case has been initiated under Part 4, Clause "a" of Article 168 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan (fraud committed on a particularly large scale). During the investigation, the preventive measure of detention was applied against citizen T.N. The investigative actions are currently ongoing.
