Officers of the Regional Department for Combating Organized Crime in the Sughd Region established that Rafael Rakhimov, born in 1986 and temporarily residing in the city of Khujand, committed fraud on several occasions.
The suspect gained the trust of Sh.O. Tuichiev and Sh.K. Utbosarov, residents of the Devashtich District, by falsely presenting himself as an employee of the Embassy of the Russian Federation. Under the pretext of arranging Russian passports, he obtained 630,000 Russian rubles from them.
In addition, he introduced himself to Sh.A. Mutavaliyon, a resident of Bobojon Ghafurov District, as an officer of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB). Under the pretext of securing the release of the victim’s son from a correctional facility in the Russian Federation, he received 70,784 US dollars, causing the victim particularly large financial losses.
The investigation into this case is ongoing.
