A person wanted through Interpol channels was extradited from Lithuania to Uzbekistan. This operation was conducted under the supervision of the Interpol Tashkent Bureau.
The individual accused of fraud as defined by Article 168 of the Criminal Code, was formally placed on the international wanted list as a citizen of Uzbekistan. As a result of Interpol communications, the suspect's location within Lithuanian territory was confirmed, resulting in his arrest and subsequent custody for extradition purposes.
