The official website of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) no longer displays the Red Notice previously issued for Uzbek businessman and Anorbank shareholder Kahramonjon Olimov. The international search warrant was originally published in late September, detailing that Olimov was born in the Andijan region in 1977 and is proficient in several languages. However, the initial notice conspicuously omitted information regarding which specific state had submitted the formal extradition request.

While initial public filings lacked detailed accusations, the category of alleged offenses was later updated to include serious charges such as kidnapping, slander, and illegal detention or arrest. The precise reasons behind the sudden removal of the notice from Interpol's public directory remain completely unknown. According to Interpol regulations, the vast majority of Red Notices are restricted solely to law enforcement agencies, while public database entries are published strictly at the request of member states, meaning the disappearance of a digital card does not automatically confirm the termination of international proceedings.

In the wake of these unfolding developments, international rating agency Fitch Ratings downgraded Anorbank’s long-term issuer default rating from 'CCC+' to 'CCC', placing it on Rating Watch Negative due to heightened uncertainties surrounding capital replenishment linked to the shareholder situation. Meanwhile, bank officials have repeatedly insisted that the financial institution continues to operate under standard regimes, fully honoring its obligations to depositors and maintaining robust financial metrics despite the external controversies.
