During an operational measure conducted in cooperation between the State Security Service and the Department for Combating Economic Crimes under the General Prosecutor's Office, another violation of the law related to the allocation of credit was exposed.
It became known that a lawyer working at the bank service center of the Almazor branch of one of the private joint-stock commercial banks and a person born in 1979, previously convicted, residing in the Yangiyul district of Tashkent region, conspired with each other.
They gained the trust of a citizen intending to start a business and informed him that they would allocate a preferential credit in the amount of 3.5 million US dollars in his name.
However, for this "service," they demanded 12 percent of the credit funds, i.e., 420 thousand US dollars. They were caught with material evidence while receiving 50 thousand dollars of the demanded amount in advance.
Currently, a criminal case has been initiated regarding this matter, and the "custody" preventive measure has been applied to the suspects. Investigative actions are ongoing.
The SSS called on citizens to report such violations of the law encountered in daily life via the short number 1520. It is guaranteed that the information of the person making the appeal will be kept confidential.
