All news on the topic: Octobank

At the end of January, an interview with the Chairman of the Board of Octobank, Iskandar Tursunov, appeared on several platforms. The substantive value of the interview is low, however, Tursunov, who is also the bank’s main shareholder, is clearly trying to weaken the growing wave of negativity around Octobank in this way.

Journalists and outlets writing about connections between the family of Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the "laundromat" for Russian "dirty" money, Octobank, have started receiving threats.

Journalists investigating Oktobank’s criminal activities, allegedly serving as the "wallet" for Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s family, have received threats from the email account of the Uzbek company INNOVA HOLDING.

A new investigation has uncovered the chains of money withdrawal through Uzbek and Russian partners of Octobank.

Octobank is an Uzbek bank which name has recently surfaced in a number of scandals related to the withdrawal of Russian capital from sanctions.

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.

As a number of Telegram channels recently reported, the Uzbek Octobank is used to withdraw and legalize money from Russia.
