Interpol has placed two citizens of Uzbekistan on its international wanted list, as authorities intensify efforts to track down suspects linked to serious crimes.

Among those sought is Dilshod Akhmedov, former chairman of the board of the Uzbek Metallurgical Plant, who is accused of embezzlement and misappropriation of property, The Caspian Post reports via Interpol's website.

The enterprise is one of Central Asia’s oldest metallurgical facilities and a key producer of steel products.

Also on the wanted list is Ravshan Mukhitdinov, known by the alias “Ravshan Zolotoy.” He faces multiple charges, including deliberate property destruction, organizing a criminal group, and hooliganism.
