Baku – APA. A U.S. court has sentenced an Uzbek man to 12 years in jail for leading a criminal gang involved in forced labor, fraud, identity theft, tax evasion and money laundering, APA reports quoting “The Voice of America”.
Abrorkhodja Askarkhodjaev was also ordered to pay $172,000 in restitution to the victims of his gang activities.
According a Department of Justice civil rights attorney, Askarkhodjaev ran a multi-national criminal organization that out of pure greed exploited foreign workers.
The gang members included people from Uzbekistan, Moldova and the United States who recruited and exploited workers from Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines and elsewhere.
Seven of Askarkhodjaev’s co-defendants were previously sentenced for their roles in the enterprise.
