According to the information provided by the agency, both defendants were detained during the investigation of a criminal case initiated by the GKNB in December 2024 under Article 337 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning abuse of office. It should be noted that the crimes were committed before changes in criminal legislation regarding the tightening of penalties for corruption and official misconduct. In this regard, they were convicted under the version of the Criminal Code that was in effect at that time, which allowed for a fine to be imposed on the condition of an admission of guilt and the conclusion of a procedural agreement with compensation for damages to the state.
It became known that both defendants in the criminal case admitted their guilt and compensated the state for material damage amounting to 4 billion 307 million soms.It is also emphasized that the admissions of the defendants were significant for uncovering the corruption scheme in the tax service, which involved employees of the Central Office of the State Tax Service's audit department, as well as other officials. This had a positive impact on the implementation of the tax and insurance contributions collection plan for 2025, increasing revenues by 40 billion soms, exceeding planned indicators.
The investigation continues concerning other individuals involved in the case, and information about its results will be provided later.
