It was revealed that the criminal group fraudulently rented out 60 cars, only to disassemble them and sell off their parts, effectively destroying the vehicles.
During the investigation, only 15 cars were recovered and placed in a penalty area. Nearly all of the recovered vehicles were found to be in poor condition, with many parts removed and replaced with faulty ones.
One of the victims, who spoke to Kun.uz, explained that they had rented out a Nexia-3 car, but it was never returned. "We rented it to a man named Muhammadyunus. He gave it to a person named Rustam, who then took it to a butcher named Djalolkhon in Namangan. This was confirmed during the investigation. However, during the trial, all of them claimed not to know each other," the victim said.
According to the court's online schedule, there are 14 defendants in the case. They are accused of committing crimes under the Criminal Code, including Article 168, Part 4, Subsections "a" and "v" (fraud committed by an organized group in large amounts), Article 171, Part 3, Subsections "a" and "b" (acquiring or transferring property obtained through criminal means), and Article 227, Part 2, Subsection "a" (destruction, damage, or concealment of vehicle state registration plates).
The case involves 57 victims.
