The court case concerning the criminal proceedings against the former rector of the Issyk-Kul State University named after K. Tynystanova and the director of a private company has reached the Supreme Court.

According to the materials published in the State Register of Judicial Acts, A.K.K. was appointed acting rector of the university by the decree of the chairman of the Interim Government dated June 25, 2010, and by the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic dated June 28, 2010. Later, from November 15, 2015, he became the full-fledged rector. The investigation claims that in these positions he abused his powers, causing harm to the interests of the state.

During the investigation, it was revealed that A.K.K. violated the university's charter, which grants him the right to enter into contracts and manage the property of the educational institution, as well as being responsible for its economic activities.

According to the investigation's information, he used his official position in the interests of his acquaintance, the director of LLC "K." O.A.I., which contradicts the interests of the state.

On October 14, 2002, a barter agreement was signed between LLC "K." and the Education Development Fund for the exchange of an unfinished residential building, valued at 200,000 soms, for 58 heads of yaks.

Based on this agreement, on December 11, 2002, a sale and purchase agreement for the house was concluded at the same price.

The investigation established that on December 24, 2007, the director of LLC "K." sent a written request to the fund for the need to obtain a bank loan to complete the construction of the house, promising to transfer five two-room apartments to the university after its completion.

Based on this request, a decision was made to replace the unfinished house with five two-room apartments.

On February 8, 2008, a sale and purchase agreement for the unfinished house was concluded, and on February 15, a notarized obligations agreement was signed. According to it, LLC "K." was to transfer five apartments to the university no later than March 1, 2011.

The investigation indicates that according to the Civil Code, the right of ownership of real estate must be registered, and the contract is considered concluded only after registration.

However, the director of LLC "K." did not fulfill the obligations to complete the construction within the specified time and, being aware of his obligations, offered instead of five apartments only two two-room and one one-room apartment, threatening to suspend construction in case of refusal.

K.K.A., abusing his official position, did not take steps to resolve the issues that arose and acted in the interests of O.A.I., who had previously supported him.

Ignoring that the fund is not an executive body of the university, and knowing that the decisions of the academic council are advisory in nature, K.K.A. submitted to the academic council for discussion the issue of transferring only three apartments instead of five.

The investigation believes that he misled the council members by claiming that the court process was being delayed and suggested transferring the remaining apartments after the sale of the unfinished ones.

Nevertheless, the university's claim for the invalidity of the contracts was left without consideration.

K.K.A. provided false information, which led to the agreement to transfer two two-room and one one-room apartment instead of five.

After that, despite the decision made, he did not take measures to transfer the apartments to the university.

The investigation established that these three apartments were valued at 9,452,000 soms and had already been transferred to the university. However, the university did not receive five apartments as stipulated in the contract, resulting in a loss of 6,731,854 soms.

Thus, the actions of K.K.A. and O.A.I. caused damage to the state in the amount of 6,816,531 soms.

The investigation charged K.K.A. under part 3 of Article 320 of the Criminal Code, the qualifying features of which are abuse of official position causing significant damage.

On March 4, 2025, the Karakol City Court found the former rector guilty of abusing his official position and, as the statute of limitations had expired, did not impose a penalty but ordered him to pay 6,816,531 soms to the state.

The director of the company was also found guilty and ordered to pay the same amount.

On July 3, 2025, the Issyk-Kul Regional Court upheld the verdict.

The former rector filed a cassation appeal with the Supreme Court requesting the annulment of the decisions of the lower courts and the issuance of an acquittal.

The lawyer for the director of LLC also filed a cassation appeal with similar demands.

The case has been accepted for proceedings by the Supreme Court.
