In Gissar, police officers uncovered fraud committed through breach of trust, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan.
As a result of investigative operations, a 37-year-old resident of the city of Hisor was detained on suspicion of fraud. According to investigators, in September 2025, the suspect gained the trust of a 30-year-old resident of the same city and received from him 214,415 kilograms of building materials worth $193,000 (equivalent to 1,814,200 somoni).
The suspect promised to return the money within two months, but only returned $102,400 (962,560 somoni) to the victim. He embezzled the remaining $90,600 (851,640 somoni) and used it for personal purposes.
In addition, during the investigative operations, another resident of the city of Gissar, a 32-year-old man, was detained, also suspected of fraud.
According to the investigation, in February 2025, he fraudulently gained the trust of a 33-year-old resident of the same city and received a Hyundai Sonata from him. The car was pledged to Takhk Matin LLC in the city of Hisor for a loan of 140,000 somoni.
The suspect returned 40,000 somoni to the owner and agreed to pay the remaining 100,000 somoni to the bank in monthly installments. However, after only making two or three payments to the bank and knowing for certain that the car was pledged, in July 2025, he sold the vehicle to a 37-year-old resident of the same city for 110,000 somoni, seeking to profit illegally.
The suspect used the received funds for personal purposes.
A criminal case has been opened against the suspect under Part 4 of Article 247 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan. An investigation is ongoing.
