Interpol’s website no longer displays a notice for businessman Kakhramonjon Olimov.
Uzbekistan officially placed the businessman on an international wanted list in late September. His profile stated that he was born on May 7, 1977, in Andijan Region and speaks Uzbek, Russian and English.
The notice did not specify the grounds for the search. Allegations are generally published in the wording provided by the requesting country.
Olimov had been subject to a Red Notice, a request to law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate a person and provisionally arrest them pending extradition or other lawful action.
A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant. Any decision to detain a person is made under the laws of the country concerned. Interpol also stresses that a person is wanted by the country that issued the request, not by the organisation itself.
Reports of Olimov’s in absentia arrest and placement on an international wanted list first emerged in an article published by The Insider on September 18. However, his profile appeared on Interpol’s website at a later date.
Spot previously reported in detail on developments surrounding private lender 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.
Banks' position
In September, Anorbank provided an official comment in response to a request from Spot. The bank said that the private circumstances of an individual shareholder were unrelated to its operations, capital, management or banking activities.
The bank continues to operate as usual, according to the response. Information about its activities is published through official channels in accordance with legal requirements.
The Central Bank said the situation involving an individual shareholder had no direct impact on Anorbank’s operations or financial stability.
The regulator added that the bank continues to provide deposit, lending, payment and other services without interruption, meets its obligations to customers and ensures business continuity.
As of September 1, 2026, Anorbank’s assets totalled 21.4 trillion soums, while its liabilities amounted to 19.8 trillion soums.
Highly liquid assets accounted for 16.9% of total assets, above the minimum requirement of 10%. The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) stood at 116%, while the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) was 128%, both above the minimum requirement of 100%.
The bank’s regulatory capital adequacy ratio was 13%, compared with the minimum requirement of 12%. The Central Bank said these indicators showed that Anorbank complied with current prudential requirements for liquidity and capital adequacy.
