A collaborative effort with the Uzbek National Central Bureau of Interpol enabled authorities to track the suspect, who was in the United States, and bring him back to his country.
This operation was made possible due to the diligent information and support provided by the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Uzbekistan, alongside strong cooperation established with the U.S. Embassy in the Republic of Uzbekistan. As a result, an Uzbek citizen, sought by our nation’s law enforcement agencies, was arrested and deported.
The suspect is accused of committing fraud on a significant scale, as outlined in Article 168, Part 4 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Through comprehensive negotiations, coordinated operational measures, and the mutual exchange of critical information between the Interpol National Bureau of Uzbekistan and relevant authorities in the United States, a collaborative decision was reached to facilitate the deportation of the wanted individual from the U.S.
Under the oversight of officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the fugitive was transported to Islam Karimov International Airport, where he was formally handed over to representatives of the National Central Bureau of Interpol in the Republic of Uzbekistan for prosecution.
This successful collaboration shows the commitment of the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Uzbekistan to combat transnational crime and ensure justice.
