Case opened in Tashkent over SAT tests for money
Employees of the State Security Service (SGB) and the internal affairs bodies of the Tashkent region have suppressed the activities of a group that offered to obtain SAT certificates for money. This was reported by the press service of the SGB.
According to the special services, the group included students of Tashkent branches of foreign universities, which are located in the building of a private school in the Yangikhayot district of the capital. An IT worker provided remote access to the testing system, which allowed tasks to be performed instead of the examinees. Clients were promised a result of 1500 points out of 1600 possible.
For obtaining a certificate, five people were asked to pay $1500 each, with one of them paying in cryptocurrency.
A criminal case has been initiated against the suspects under Article 168 (fraud) of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan. An investigation is currently underway.
