In the Mirzo-Ulugbek district, officers of the Department for Combatting Economic Crimes detained a man who was trading Bitcoin.



According to the press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office, in 2019-2020 the man was involved in the illegal sale of Bitcoin cryptocurrency without a license. In particular, he purchased and sold cryptocurrency and exchanged money for foreigners.

His turnover reached $3 million a year.

A criminal charge was filed against the detainee under articles 177 (Illegal Purchase or Sale of Foreign Currency) and 190 (Unlicensed Performance of Economic Activity) of the Criminal Code.

It should be reminded that in December 2019 the National Agency for Project Management instructed to make changes and additions to the regulation on the procedure for licensing activities of crypto-exchanges.
