This was reported by the press service of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of the capital.

According to the investigation, a 20-year-old native of the Samarkand region, living in Tashkent, exchanged money obtained by criminal means for crypto assets in order to conceal their origin, actual owners, and the movement of financial flows.
