In Tashkent, law enforcement officers detained two men who tried to sell bills worth one million dollars. The Department of Combating Economic Crimes at the General Prosecutor’s Office of Uzbekistan reports in its Telegram channel.
Similar bills were produced in the United States in 1988. They have a level of protection comparable to official American monetary signs, and highly appreciated among collectors, however, they were not accepted as a monetary unit.
in the Uzbek office stressed that sales sellers such a major nominal got it “by deception and confidence abuse” and tried to sell for 40 thousand dollars (more than 2.9 million rubles). In relation to them, a criminal case was initiated under Article 168 (“Fraud”) of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan.
Earlier, Uzbek security forces detained a 39-year-old resident of Chirchik, who created a false account of the President of the Republic of Shavkat Mirzieev. On the network, he was presented by the head of his administration and promised to citizens to help solve problems for money. For their services, he demanded from 50 thousand to 1.5 million Uzbek sums (from 344 to 10,319 rubles).
