They also allege participation in creating or leading an organized armed group. A third charge is hooliganism.
- Sanctions range from restriction of liberty to imprisonment.
- Potential prison terms run from three to fifteen years.
Location and professional ties
Mukhitdinov is believed to reside in Türkiye and to be involved in business activities there. Officials say he holds a leadership role abroad.
He serves as Vice President for Financial Affairs at Dünya Engelliler Vakfı (DEV). The Istanbul-based group supports people with disabilities.
What an Interpol red notice means
Interpol describes a red notice as an international request to law enforcement. It asks agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally detain a person.
A red notice is not itself an arrest warrant. It is issued based on a court decision or an arrest warrant provided by the requesting country.
Uzbekistan’s search effort remains active as legal steps continue. No extradition has been confirmed at this time.
