Turkish lawyer plans lawsuits against Uzbekistan over pressure on fintech firm Solfy
Robert Amsterdam, a lawyer representing the Turkish government, announced his intention to file lawsuits against Uzbek government bodies and several high-ranking officials. He specifically aims to hold the National Bank of Uzbekistan accountable for exerting pressure on the fintech platform Solfy, marking an important move to protect investors and financial freedom.
The lawyer's statement further reports that Solfy investors received life threats from bank chairman Alisher Mirsoatov. In Uzbek political circles, Mirsoatov is referred to as a potential next finance minister of the republic, highlighting the political stakes involved.
This case could set a precedent for fintech protection in the region and influence future relations between financial institutions and investors in Uzbekistan. Further developments will be closely watched.
