In a penal colony in the Navoi region, a prisoner tried to make money by promising to free a cellmate.
An inmate at Colony No. 4 gained the trust of a fellow inmate and promised to secure his brother's early release through supposedly high-ranking acquaintances. For his "services," he demanded $15,000, including $10,000 as a down payment.
In a correctional facility in the Navoi region, an inmate attempted to enrich himself by promising another inmate assistance in securing his release.
According to the Sevimli TV channel, the intermediary used to transfer funds from an acquaintance on the outside was detained by prosecutors and law enforcement officers while receiving the money.
Criminal proceedings have been initiated under Articles 211 (Bribery) and 168 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code.
The criminal group also included a student from Tashkent, whose role was to collect money from inmates and then transfer it to "necessary persons." Investigative actions are currently underway.
