Uzbekistan has placed businessman Kakhramonjon Olimov on an international wanted list. A corresponding notice has appeared on the website of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).
According to the notice, Olimov was born on May 7, 1977, in Andijan region. He speaks Uzbek, Russian and English. No photograph is included in the notice.
However, Interpol’s website does not specify the grounds for the search. The description of the alleged offence is generally provided in the form submitted by the requesting country.
A Red Notice has been issued for Olimov. It is a request to law enforcement agencies in different countries to locate a person and provisionally arrest them pending extradition or another legal action.
A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant. Any decision to detain a person is made in accordance with the laws of the relevant country. Interpol also emphasizes that a person is wanted by the country that requested the notice, not by Interpol itself.
Anorbank provided an official comment in response to Spot’s inquiry. The bank said that the private circumstances of an individual shareholder are not related to the bank’s operations, capital, management or banking activities.
Anorbank continues to operate in accordance with established procedures. Information about the bank’s activities is published through official channels and in compliance with legal requirements.
The first reports of Olimov’s detention in absentia and being placed on an international wanted list came from a publication by The Insider on September 18. However, Spot did not find a corresponding notice on Interpol’s website at the time. The notice appeared earlier this week.
Spot recently provided a detailed account of developments surrounding private Anorbank and its founder, Kakhramonjon Olimov.
Who is Kakhramonjon Olimov?
According to the Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations, Kakhramonjon Olimov is a member of Anorbank’s supervisory board and owns 49.4% of the bank’s shares. Another 50% is owned by Dutch company Bekamin B.V., while 0.6% belongs to insurance company Kapital Sug’urta.
Until recently, Olimov directly owned 99.4% of the bank. However, in December 2025, he transferred the controlling stake to Dutch company Bekamin B.V. As a result, his share fell from 99.4% to 49.4%.
Kakhramonjon Olimov was born in 1977. In 1999, he graduated from Andijan Institute of Engineering and Economics with a degree in Finance and Credit. In 2012, he graduated from the Higher School of Business under the Academy of State and Social Construction under the President of Uzbekistan, earning a Master of Business Administration degree.
Central Bank’s position
On Monday, the Central Bank said that the situation involving an individual shareholder does not directly affect Anorbank’s current operations or financial stability.
The regulator said that the bank continues to provide uninterrupted deposit, lending, payment and other services, meets its obligations to customers and ensures business continuity.
As of September 1, 2026, Anorbank’s assets amounted to 21.4 trillion soums, while its liabilities stood at 19.8 trillion soums.
Highly liquid assets accounted for 16.9% of total assets, compared with a minimum requirement of 10%. The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 116%, while the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) stood at 128%, against a minimum requirement of 100%.
The bank’s regulatory capital adequacy ratio was 13%, compared with a minimum requirement of 12%.
The Central Bank said these indicators show that Anorbank complies with current prudential requirements for liquidity and capital adequacy.
