In Dushanbe, law enforcement officers detained four individuals suspected of illegally registering SIM cards and bank cards in the names of other citizens without their consent or presence.
According to the Moscow Department of Internal Affairs, the alleged organizers of the scheme are 20-year-old city residents Abdurakhmon and Somon Somonchiev. According to preliminary information, they planned the illegal activity in advance and recruited two other people to participate.
Investigators believe that the detainees obtained SIM cards from mobile operators using fake data without the participation of citizens, after which they used them to activate e-wallets.
During the search, more than 400 bank cards, as well as 16 SIM cards registered to other individuals, were seized from the suspects. A criminal case has been opened against the detainees under Article 340 of the Criminal Code of Tajikistan ("forgery of documents"). A preliminary investigation is underway.
The Dushanbe Department of Internal Affairs reminded that sharing passports, bank cards, SIM cards, and other personal information with third parties could lead to their use for illegal purposes. Citizens are urged to contact the police at (+992) 018-02-02-02 if they encounter such cases.
