Fraudster wanted by Interpol of Uzbekistan extradited from Sweden to Uzbekistan

Reportedly, thanks to the joint actions of the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Tashkent and Stockholm and the meeting of their leaders on the sidelines of the Annual Conference in Lyon, the extradition of a criminal from Sweden to Uzbekistan took place for the first time.

The fraudster, in collusion with a group of persons, was engaged in the sale of real estate by forging documents and caused especially large material damage.

According to the information received from the criminal prosecution, the offender was hiding in the territory of the EU countries. In the course of operational-search activities, he was identified and detained in Sweden.

Following negotiations, the request of the General Prosecutor's Office of Uzbekistan for extradition was granted and the offender was taken to Uzbekistan to stand trial.
