In Fergana, a person nicknamed "Mansur Kazanskiy" was detained on suspicion of extortion.

A person known by the nickname "Mansur Kazanskiy" in the Fergana region, associated with organized crime, has been detained on suspicion of extortion. The information service of the Fergana Regional Department of Internal Affairs reported this.

 

It was reported that Aripov Mansur Fozilovich had agreed to purchase a non-residential property belonging to a citizen residing in Tashkent for $1.2 million. The payment was planned to be made through a bank loan by pledging the property as collateral.

 

After the property was officially registered in Aripov's name through notarial procedures, he reviewed the monthly loan payments and interest and refused to take out the loan. Subsequently, instead of returning the non-residential property to its original owner, he allegedly demanded $200,000 in exchange for re-registering it back in the victim's name.

 

Additionally, Aripov, together with his accomplice born in 1968, pressured the victim's business partner, collected defamatory materials against him, threatened him with criminal prosecution, and demanded money from him.

 

During an operational operation conducted jointly by the Fergana Regional Department of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service, the suspect was apprehended with physical evidence at the moment he was receiving $100,000 in exchange for re-registering the non-residential building to the victim at a notary office located on Burhoniddin Marg'inoniy Street in Fergana city.

 

A criminal case has been initiated under Article 165 of the Criminal Code (extortion) regarding the incident. Individuals involved in the crime have been detained in accordance with procedural procedures.

 

Law enforcement agencies have asked citizens who have suffered from the illegal actions of these individuals to report it by calling the number 102.
