Kun.uz: Global avto case figure remained free for almost a year — Interior Ministry blames pressure from victims
A Kun.uz journalistic investigation showed that Bekzod Bahtimurdov, a figure in the fraud case involving the Global avto car dealership (damage of about 11 billion soums, of which over 5 billion remains uncompensated), remained free from November 2025 to 22 September 2026 and during that time deceived new citizens. Interior Ministry press secretary Shohruh Giyasov said he should have been arrested in March but was left free 'under pressure from the victims and their lawyers.' The outlet's lawyers note that such pressure is not an independent legal ground.
