People who tried to circulate nearly $11,000 counterfeit money detained in Namangan

Reportedly, a resident of Uchkurgan district (born in 1986) T.Sh., who was previously convicted, was searched in person. It was discovered that he had a counterfeit foreign currency in the amount of $10,600, which was formalized in a procedural manner.

During the pre-investigation check, it discovered that he received the counterfeit foreign currency from M.B. (born in 1986), a resident of Yangikurgan district. He was also arrested.

It turned out that these counterfeit currencies, which were transferred to the territory of Yangikurgan district via detours by a citizen of Kyrgyzstan named “Tinar”, were to be put into circulation in the city of Tashkent.

Currently, a criminal has been initiated against T.Sh. and M.B. under Article 176 of the Criminal Code (making counterfeit money, excise stamps or securities, transferring them). An investigation is underway.
