Uzbekistan’s Interpol detains a man who was on international wanted list for 8 years

As part of operative-search activities, employees of the MIA National Central Bureau of Interpol in Uzbekistan detained a 54-year-old foreign citizen who was put on the international wanted list in January 2014 at the initiative of law enforcement agencies of Kazakhstan, the MIA press service reported.

In relation to the man, a preventive measure was chosen in the form of detention for committing fraudulent acts on an especially large scale and stealing other people’s property by breach of trust.

“Employees of the National Central Bureau of Interpol from Nur-Sultan, who initiated the search, were informed about the detention of the fraudster before his extradition for further criminal prosecution in Kazakhstan,” the report reads.

Currently, the Prosecutor General’s Office of Uzbekistan is considering the issue of extraditing the detainee to Kazakhstan.
