Law enforcement officers of the Republic of Tajikistan have uncovered several cases of fraud and theft committed in various regions of the country. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic.
According to the department, a 38-year-old resident of the capital applied to the police department No. 1 of the Sino district of Dushanbe with a statement about the fact of fraud. The applicant reported that on December 24, 2024, a 25-year-old resident of the capital, having gained his trust, received 200 thousand somoni from him, promising to repay the debt by January 2, 2025. However, the obligations were not fulfilled, and the suspect appropriated the money for himself.
In addition, during the operational search activities, a 62-year-old resident of Dushanbe, who worked as the deputy director of Ramshed LLC, was detained. As the investigators established, the suspect, using deception and abuse of trust, entered into a contract for the sale and purchase of a concrete plant worth 510 thousand somoni with a 54-year-old resident of the capital. Having received the property, he sold it to third parties and used the proceeds for personal purposes. A criminal case was opened against the suspect under Part 4 of Article 247 (fraud on an especially large scale) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan. An investigation is underway.
