In the Yunusabad district of the capital, illegal operations with crypto assets totaling $10.976 million were uncovered. The suspect in the criminal case is a 22-year-old native of the Samarkand region, temporarily residing in Tashkent.

According to the investigation, crypto assets were used to conceal the origin of funds, their actual owners, and subsequent movements.

During a search of the suspect's residence, law enforcement officers seized 24 mobile phones, 20 bank cards, a laptop, and a Wi-Fi router. All discovered devices and cards were attached to the case materials.
