A.K.Y. previously held various leadership positions at "Kyrgyzkomur" and has a background in the country's internal affairs system.
The other participant in the case, Sh.T.R., is listed in the justice authorities as the head of a private company and participated in the elections to the Jogorku Kenesh from one of the political parties in October 2020. He also intended to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for November 30, 2025, but then withdrew.
The investigative authorities charged K.A. and T.Sh. with committing serious crimes against public order, as well as with corrupt actions related to state and municipal service.
According to materials published in the State Register of Judicial Acts, K.A. held various managerial positions in "Kyrgyzkomur": from 2012 to 2016 he was the deputy director, then from 2016 to 2018 — the commercial director, and from 2018 to 2021 and again from July to September 2023 — the director of the enterprise. Using his knowledge of the internal structure and weaknesses of the organization, he allegedly used his official position for illegal enrichment.
The investigation established that starting from 2018, he conspired with several employees, including the former head of the "Kara-Keche" branch S.A.R., to organize a scheme to conceal the actual volumes of coal extraction. Part of the coal extracted from the deposit was not reflected in the accounting reports and was sold to third parties, with the proceeds distributed among the group members.
According to the reports from surveying controllers, in a report dated June 28, 2021, the volume of coal extracted from the "Borborduk" site for 2020 was understated by 370.58 thousand tons. The Ministry of Energy estimated the value of this volume at approximately 435.5 million soms.
Furthermore, the investigation accuses K.A., T.Sh., and their accomplices of attempting to destabilize the socio-political situation in the country. After K.A.'s dismissal on September 5, 2023, he, maintaining contact with T.Sh. and others, conveyed information about Kyrgyz coal deposits to T.K. uulu, who is in the USA. Later, false information about the sale of coal deposits to China appeared in messengers and social networks such as Telegram and Facebook, which, according to the investigation, was aimed at provoking mass riots in Bishkek on November 19, 2023.
In the published materials, as shown by a political expertise dated October 18, 2023, there were calls for the overthrow of power, mass protests, and armed resistance.
The investigation claims that K.A., T.Sh., and T.K. uulu actively prepared for mass riots that could lead to violence and destruction; however, their actions were thwarted by law enforcement agencies, and the criminal intent was not realized.
The verdict of the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek on September 25, 2024, found K.Y.A. not guilty under articles 36 ("Preparation for a Crime") and 278 ("Mass Riots") part 1 of the Criminal Code and acquitted him due to lack of corpus delicti.
However, he was found guilty of negligence under article 348 part 1 and was fined 700 calculated indicators, which is equivalent to 70 thousand soms.
In accordance with part 7 of article 80 of the Criminal Code, taking into account the time spent in custody, K.Y.A. was released from paying the fine.
Sh.T.R. was found not guilty under articles 36 and 278 part 1 of the Criminal Code and was acquitted due to lack of corpus delicti. The court recognized his right to rehabilitation and sent a notification regarding the procedure for compensation for damages related to illegal criminal prosecution.
The measure of restraint in the form of detention for K.Y.A. and Sh.T.R. was lifted, and they were released in the courtroom. Until the verdict comes into legal force, they were assigned a measure of restraint in the form of a written undertaking not to leave, which will be lifted after the decision takes effect.
By the decision of the judicial panel on criminal cases and cases of administrative offenses of the Bishkek City Court dated March 17, 2025, the verdict of the Pervomaisky District Court dated September 25, 2024, was modified.
K.Y.A. was found not guilty under article 336 part 2 ("Corruption committed in the interests of an organized group") and was acquitted due to lack of corpus delicti.
According to article 133 of the Criminal Procedure Code, he was recognized as having the right to rehabilitation and received a notification regarding the procedure for compensation for damages caused by illegal prosecution. The rest of the verdict remained unchanged.
The cassation appeal of the prosecutor of the Bishkek City Prosecutor's Office, Turdumamatov, was submitted to the Supreme Court, requesting the annulment of the judicial acts of the first and appellate instances and the referral of the criminal case for reconsideration in the court of first instance.
The Supreme Court on August 20, 2025, decided to uphold the decision of the Bishkek City Court.
