During investigative operations, police officers uncovered two cases of fraud committed in Tajikistan, law enforcement agencies reported.
According to the investigation, Fayzulloev U.S., a resident of the Dusti district, born in 1987, gained the trust of Khakimzoda D.M., a resident of the Jaloliddini Balkhi district, in January 2026. Under the pretext of assisting in the release of a convicted prisoner, Kh.N., from a correctional facility due to illness, he received 69,000 somoni from the victim.
Police determined that the suspect failed to fulfill his promises and has taken no action to resolve the matter to date. Investigators believe he used the funds he received for personal purposes.
In addition, a resident of the city of Kulyab, Z.D. Todzhiev, born in 1996, was detained on suspicion of committing fraud.
According to law enforcement, on January 25, 2026, he deceived a citizen named M.M. Otakhanov into trusting him and received $56,000 from him. In exchange for this sum, the suspect promised to deliver two Lixiang L9 electric vehicles from the People's Republic of China within one month.
However, as noted, he did not fulfill his obligations and used the funds received for personal purposes.
A preliminary investigation is being conducted into both incidents, the results of which will determine whether to initiate criminal proceedings.
