Company Artel forced its employees to troll Troll.uz administrator Umid Gafurov. On August 31, he posted a satirical video on the Telegram channel, which featured graphic symbols of the non-existent CARTEL and BRAKFA brands. Before being appointed to the new post, Artel and Akfa were managed by the current mayor of Tashkent, Jahongir Artykhodjaev. The author of the video, Shavkat Egmberdiev, was forced to record and post a video apology in which he slandered Umid Gafurov, claiming that Troll.uz framed him.
