The special services noted that "S.M.A." used the debts of his clients to illegally seize their property, including apartments, land plots, and commercial properties. This was carried out through the conclusion of fictitious transactions involving controlled notaries and other affiliated persons.
During the investigation, trusted persons of "S.M.A." were identified, on whom numerous real estate and movable property obtained through criminal means were registered. Evidence has also been collected confirming the organized nature of his illegal activities, which included elements of intimidation and psychological pressure on the victims, as well as the use of connections in law enforcement agencies to prevent citizens from seeking protection of their rights.
In light of the evidence collected, on January 14, 2026, the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek chose a preventive measure in the form of arrest for "S.M.A.", who was placed in custody in the GKNB KR detention center.
The investigation is currently ongoing, and other individuals involved in this case are being identified.
The GKNB KR reminds that the activities of pawnshops and usury conducted illegally entail criminal liability.
