Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan

The successful operation was carried out as part of ongoing cooperation between the Ministries of Internal Affairs of the two countries. Uzbekistan and Turkey held official meetings under the "4+4" mechanism to assess the current status of bilateral cooperation and to identify priority areas for further strengthening. One of the key outcomes of this partnership has been the effective exchange of operational information and coordinated efforts to locate and apprehend wanted individuals.

A woman who previously committed a crime specified in Part 3 of Article 168 of the Criminal Code and wanted on fraud charges was located, detained, and returned to Uzbekistan as a result of joint operational investigation measures conducted by the Operational Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan and the competent authorities of Turkey. According to the investigation, the suspect allegedly established a limited liability company and offered employment opportunities abroad, including in the United States and several European countries, without possessing the necessary licensing or legal authorization to provide such services. She is accused of fraudulently obtaining large sums of money through service agreements and false promises of highly paid jobs overseas, which were then used for personal purposes.

In 2020, the suspect was placed on the wanted list, and she was later discovered hiding in Turkey. Following her detention by Turkish authorities, she was returned to Uzbekistan to face further legal proceedings.
