The head of a private geological enterprise operating in Samarkand claimed to have previously held a responsible position in the Ministry of Mining and Geology, gaining the trust of citizens. He emphasized that he possessed "confidential geological maps and images" of gold deposits located in the Samarkand and Jizzakh regions, offering to sell this information for $25,000 USD.
During an urgent operation conducted by the Samarkand regional department of the DXX, he was apprehended while receiving $10,000 of the agreed sum. According to expert conclusions, none of the information he provided was found to be confidential.
Similarly, a fraud case was recorded in the Kashkadarya region. An operator of the Shahrisabz Gas Transportation System, an employee of the "Mubarek Main Gas Pipelines" department under "Uztransgaz," promised to arrange employment at one of the organizations within the "Uztransgaz" system through his high-ranking acquaintances. He demanded $4,000 USD from a citizen in exchange for a supervisory position.
During an operation conducted jointly by the Kashkadarya regional department of the DXX and the Department for Combating Economic Crimes, he was caught while receiving the money.
Currently, criminal cases have been initiated against these individuals, and investigative actions are underway.
