Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan

A person born in 1988 in the city of Samarkand promises to send a citizen born in 2001 to the United States in illegal ways and receives money in the amount of 36 thousand US dollars from him. However, a citizen that attempted to cross into the USA through Mexico was deported to Uzbekistan by the border service. Then, he demanded a refund of the money spent and received 18 thousand US dollars. After these actions, the businessman became enmity towards his client and planned to join forces with a person born in 1979 living in Tashkent city to kidnap a citizen who had returned from Mexico and demand money from him. As a result of a quick operation conducted by the officers of the Criminal Investigation Department of the MIA, the Department of Combating Organized Crime, the members of the criminal group who kidnapped the person brought to the countryside in Ukurchirchik district and the money required to fulfil the order were caught. The specially processed money and a fake pistol made of metal, which was kept for intimidation, were taken from them as material evidence. 

In this regard, a criminal case was initiated under Article 164, Part 2, Item "b" of Invasion and Article 137, Part 2, Item "b" of Kidnapping. The Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is currently conducting investigations.
