Turmush — During a special operation called "Bandit," police officers uncovered a large network of illegal gambling, reports the press service of the Internal Affairs Department of the Osh region.

Specialists from the regional police established that cockfights with monetary bets were being held in the Kara-Suu district. Operatives received information that a local resident had created conditions for gambling on his personal property. An inspection confirmed the information: 35-year-old S.I. organized his territory as an arena for fights.

As a result of the operation, it was revealed that more than 200 local residents came to watch this spectacle, and over 100 people from a neighboring country arrived specifically to participate in the betting.

All participants of the event were detained and taken to the internal affairs department. The police conducted identity verification and took fingerprints.

Following the inspection, protocols were drawn up against seven foreign citizens for violating the rules of stay and labor activity in Kyrgyzstan. Each of them was fined 5,500 soms, totaling 38,500 soms.

Currently, the possibility of initiating a criminal case against the organizers and active participants of the gambling activities is being considered. The investigation will assess their actions in terms of the legislation concerning the prohibition of gambling activities.
