According to him, as a result of the incident, he incurred significant losses, which, according to preliminary estimates, exceed 20 million soms. The lessee of the water body also suffered serious losses.
At the time of his appeal to the prosecutor's office, statements had been submitted to various responsible agencies, including the Department of Fisheries and the veterinary service.
According to information from the entrepreneur, the prosecutor's office initiated an inspection during which water pollution was recorded and violation reports were drawn up. As a result, a criminal case was opened, and the materials were sent to the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of the Chuy region for further investigation.
Nevertheless, V. Kim claims that investigative actions are not being conducted: more than 20 days have passed, and no necessary measures have been taken, including the fact that the applicant himself has not been interrogated.
He also emphasizes that he has not yet been recognized as a victim, despite being the person who suffered direct damage.
In his appeal, the entrepreneur refers to Article 40 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, which obliges the investigator and the court to recognize as victims those who file a complaint about a crime.
In his opinion, the situation appears to be that a criminal case has been formally opened, but the actual investigation is being delayed, and the key participant who suffered damage is deprived of the rights associated with the procedural status of a victim.
V. Kim hopes that the leadership of law enforcement agencies in the Chuy region will ensure compliance with the requirements of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, expedite his recognition as a victim, and activate investigative actions to protect the environmental rights of citizens.
