Criminal cases have been opened in Tajikistan against three citizens suspected of committing fraudulent actions involving large sums of money. This was reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic.
A 52-year-old local resident filed a complaint with the Abdurakhmani Jomi District Department of Internal Affairs. According to him, in May-June 2024, a 52-year-old resident of Dushanbe, having gained his trust and promised to release his son from criminal liability through "acquaintances", received 220 thousand somoni from him. However, the promises were not fulfilled, and the actions of the suspect caused serious harm to the applicant.
Another case was recorded in the city of Istaravshan. According to the police, on February 20, 2025, a 35-year-old man abused the trust of a resident of the Zafarabad district and received 250 thousand somoni from him under the pretext of completing documents. He appropriated the funds without fulfilling the promised actions.
A similar episode occurred in September 2022. A 40-year-old resident of Istaravshan, having promised a resident of the Asht district the supply of timber from Kazakhstan, received 210 thousand somoni, but used the money for personal needs.
Criminal cases have been initiated on all facts under Part 4 of Article 247 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan ("Fraud on a large scale"). An investigation is underway.
