The Ministry of Internal Affairs in Uzbekistan has taken significant action against cybercrime by shutting down an IT consulting company that was allegedly facilitating the operations of several unnamed illegal iGaming operators. Over the past six months, these operators reportedly generated a turnover of $4 million.
According to the investigation, the group attracted around 60,000 citizens from Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and other countries to their products. Law enforcement has arrested 11 key members of the group and identified individuals who were working remotely for them.
During the operation, police seized servers, computer equipment, phones, bank cards, SIM cards, and cash, highlighting the scale of the illegal activities.
