A 34-year-old local resident filed a fraud report with the Shohmansur District Police Department in Dushanbe, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan.
According to the investigation, on March 28, 2025, a 33-year-old Dushanbe resident received a 2024 Mercedes-Benz worth $150,000 from the complainant. He paid $20,000 and provided a receipt for the remaining amount to be repaid soon, but never returned $130,000. The car was subsequently sold to another person for $117,000, and the suspect used the proceeds for personal use.
In the Khatlon region, during operational investigative activities, it was established that between August and October 2025, a 34-year-old resident of the city of Levakant, having gained the trust of a 45-year-old resident of the Kushoniyon district, gradually received 261 thousand somoni from him, which he also spent on his own interests.
