The State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan reported the detention of Rustam Isaev, who was involved in fraudulent schemes related to extortion in the construction and pawn crediting sectors.
It was previously noted that Manas Aseinovich Sultanov, engaged in pawn and usury activities, conducted illegal actions aimed at profiting from the financial difficulties of citizens by offering them loans with deliberately unacceptable terms and high interest rates. This led to the dependency of the victims and their inability to fulfill financial obligations, which in turn allowed for the illegal seizure of their movable and immovable property.
Sultanov applied pressure and threats to prevent victims from seeking protection of their rights. In this illegal activity, he was actively assisted by Rustam Isaev, who acted as his partner and lawyer.
Isaev also participated in the blackmail and extortion of property from the heads of construction companies such as OsOO "Expert Stroy" and OsOO "Arz Development".
Having the relevant legal knowledge and experience, Isaev advised Sultanov and assisted him in carrying out illegal actions, including imposing restrictions on property rights for construction sites, as well as threatening representatives of companies and shareholders, forcing them to transfer their property.
As a result of the actions of Isaev and Sultanov, 89 shareholders of the residential complex "Silk Road" and other citizens who used their services were harmed.
The collected materials were submitted to the General Prosecutor's Office of Kyrgyzstan, where a criminal case was initiated against lawyer Isaev under part 4 of article 41 and part 3, clause 2 of article 208 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. The case was forwarded for investigation to the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic.
On January 19, 2026, within the framework of this criminal case, searches and investigative actions were carried out, as a result of which Rustam Isaev was detained and placed in the temporary detention facility of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The investigation is ongoing, and other individuals involved in this case are being identified.
