The six suspects, detained in the Yashnobod district, allegedly provided services to foreign online gambling companies, facilitating the transfer and legalization of gambling proceeds through the Decent cryptocurrency platform.

Investigators say the group operated for approximately eight months, conducting illicit circulation of crypto assets exceeding 180 billion UZS.

During the operation, authorities seized 38 mobile phones and nearly 1,000 bank cards used to launder money, which are now held as evidence.

A criminal case has been opened against the suspects under the Criminal Code’s provisions on violations in the circulation of crypto assets by organized groups.
