Top Executives Arrested Following Kun.uz Investigation
The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) has recently uncovered a large-scale fraud case involving the company “Halal Auto Leasing kompany” LLC, where officials allegedly embezzled 1.7 billion UZS from citizens. An investigation by Kun.uz led to the discovery of the funds being transferred to plastic cards and then cashed out, prompting criminal proceedings against the company’s executives.
The MIA has initiated criminal charges under Article 168, Part 4, Subsection “a” (large-scale fraud) of the Criminal Code against the individuals involved in the fraudulent activities. The company’s director and his associate have been arrested as a precautionary measure, as investigations continue.
It was revealed that the company, which was registered with a charter capital of 10 billion soms, did not actually provide this amount. Despite signing contracts with 52 individuals for the supply of vehicles, no purchases were made from car manufacturers or suppliers. The 1.7 billion UZS credited to the company’s account was misused and has now become the subject of an audit.
Affected individuals who made payments to the company for vehicles are urged to contact the MIA’s Investigation Department to report their losses. The MIA’s hotline for inquiries is (71) 231-33-94, and assistance is available for those affected by this fraudulent scheme.
