On October 30, 2025, a report was received at the Internal Affairs Department in Tokmok from S. R., a woman born in 1965. She reported that unknown criminals, posing as employees of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan, an investigator from the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of Chui region, and representatives of the National Bank, deceitfully acquired her funds. Under the pretext of "protecting her money from fraudsters," she transferred 4,783,000 soms to various bank accounts. After that, the criminals ceased communication with the victim. This was reported by the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of Chui region.
In connection with this incident, a criminal case was initiated on the grounds of a crime provided for by Article 209-1 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning the intentional transfer or sale of electronic payment means.
During the investigation, the investigators found that the victim's funds were transferred to accounts registered in the name of A. B., who, born in 2000, for monetary reward, transferred his bank cards to unidentified persons and provided them access to internet banking.
Thus, A. B. became a so-called "dropper" — an intermediary involved in illegal schemes for cashing out stolen funds.
As a result of operational-search activities, police officers identified and detained the suspects — citizens S. J. (born in 2007) and J. B. (born in 2006).
The suspects were detained and placed in a temporary detention facility. The city court decided to apply a measure of restraint in the form of electronic monitoring regarding the detainees.
