At the beginning of 2026, a citizen K.A. approached the Internal Investigations Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kyrgyzstan with a statement. He reported that unknown individuals, posing as law enforcement officers, deceitfully obtained 10,000 US dollars from him, promising to resolve an ongoing criminal case in his favor. After receiving the money, the suspects disappeared in an unknown direction, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reports.
In connection with the incident, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 209 "Fraud" of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During operational activities, two suspects were detained: S.A., born in 1998, and S.M., born in 1976.
The identity of a third suspect has also been established — A.A., born in 1982, who had a previous criminal record. He is currently in custody, as he was detained by the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) on another fraud case.
The investigation is ongoing.
