Law enforcement officers in Uzbekistan, in coordination with Turkish colleagues, have apprehended a 37-year-old man from the Samarkand region who was wanted internationally for embezzlement of large credit funds.

According to investigators, the suspect obtained significant loans in Uzbekistan but failed to repay them before secretly leaving the country. Through coordinated operations, police officers located him in Türkiye, leading to his arrest, The Caspian Post reports via Uzbek media.

Following detention, the man was deported to Uzbekistan to face legal proceedings. Investigations are currently underway under national law.

The Uzbek General Consulate in Istanbul reminded citizens of the importance of obeying laws both domestically and abroad, emphasizing that fleeing to another country does not absolve one from legal responsibility.
