During the
event, it was established that the lawyer of the Center for Banking Services of
the Almazar branch of one of the private joint-stock commercial banks and a
previously convicted resident of the Yangiyul district of the Tashkent region,
born in 1979, entered into a conspiracy.
According
to the investigation, they gained the trust of a citizen who planned to engage
in entrepreneurial activity, and promised to issue a preferential loan in the
amount of 3.5 million US dollars in his name.
For
assistance in obtaining a loan, the suspects demanded a monetary reward in the
amount of 12% of the loan amount - 420 thousand US dollars.

dollars, these persons were detained with physical evidence.

detention has been chosen for the detainees. Investigative actions are
