Journalists and media outlets reporting on connections between the family of Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Octobank, a "laundromat" for Russian "dirty" money, have begun receiving threats.
In Uzbekistan, information resources that write about the criminal activities of Oktobank, which serves as the "wallet" of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s family, are being massively blocked.
At the end of September, two events occurred concerning Oktobank that will have far-reaching consequences. The first is that Iskandar Tursunov increased his share in Oktobank to 99.2%.
As recently reported by a number of Telegram channels, Uzbek Octobank is used for the withdrawal and legalization of money from Russia.
The partners of the scandalous Uzbek bank are the Russian Transcapitalbank, Sber, the Uzbek exchange UzEx, the payment systems Humo and Paynet, and the Chinese service Tenpay.
Although the owner of the Uzbek Octobank is formally listed as the bank’s chairman of the board, Iskandar Tursunov, who owns 99.16% of the shares, in fact, the beneficiaries of Octobank are the family of the country’s current president, Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
Behind the head of the National Agency for Prospective Projects of the Republic of Uzbekistan (NAPP) Dmitriy Li stands Russian businessman Alisher Usmanov.
