According to the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Uzbekistan, the suspect is accused of committing fraud under Article 168, Part 4 of Uzbekistan’s Criminal Code and had been placed on an international wanted list.
Authorities later established that the suspect was in Georgia. Georgian authorities detained the individual following coordinated action between the Uzbek and Georgian sides.
The Prosecutor General’s Office then submitted an extradition request, which was approved by the Georgian authorities, paving the way for the suspect’s transfer to Uzbekistan.
“With the direct involvement of staff from the national central bureaus of Interpol, the wanted person was extradited from Georgia and brought to the Republic of Uzbekistan for further procedural measures in accordance with the law,” the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Uzbekistan said.
The suspect will face further proceedings in Uzbekistan in accordance with the country’s legislation.
