One of those arrested, identified as F.F.N., had been wanted since 2017 on charges under Article 164, Part 3 of Uzbekistan’s Criminal Code, concerning robbery. He had evaded investigation and prosecution for nearly nine years.
Another Uzbek national, identified as A.M.A., was also arrested in Istanbul. He had been internationally wanted on charges under Article 168, Part 3 of the Criminal Code, concerning fraud.
The two individuals were subsequently handed over to Uzbekistan’s competent authorities in accordance with established procedures.
Investigative and other procedural measures are currently continuing against them.
