As reported earlier, a man in Tashkent attempted to rob a bank using a toy gun in April of this year. Wearing a mask, he entered the bank but was quickly apprehended by law enforcement officers. A criminal case was subsequently opened against him.
According to the Millar news program, the Yunusabad District Criminal Court reviewed the case. During the trial, the prosecutor requested a sentence of 9 years in prison.
However, the court found the man guilty under Article 164, Part 1 of the Criminal Code (robbery) and sentenced him to 5 years of imprisonment. He will serve his sentence in a general-regime penal colony.
āWhen I left the house that morning, I didnāt realize my grandsonās toy gun was still in my pocket. I had some minor debts. I honestly donāt know why I did it ā I was in despair over my financial situation. I came to Yunusabad and did this. As soon as I entered, I told myself, āZokir, what youāre doing is wrong.ā Then I turned around and walked out. I didnāt hurt anyone, I didnāt take any money. I apologize to everyone ā if you can forgive me, please do,ā the man told the court during the hearing.
