Citizen K.E. appealed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a statement that two slightly familiar women, having gained his trust, deceived him and took a large sum of money.
According to the collected data, from February to October 2024, the women, introducing themselves as "R.A." and "K", assured him that they could help with the purchase of real estate and cars in Bishkek at reduced prices. Such promises allowed them to fraudulently obtain 90,000 US dollars from the victim.
A criminal case has been initiated in connection with this fact under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning fraud in a particularly large amount.
During the investigation, the identity of one of the suspects was established — she is a resident of the Chui region, A.R., born in 1984. It was found that since 2008 she has been working as a lawyer and is a member of the Bar Association of the Chui region.
The investigation also revealed that she had previously used a similar method to deceive other citizens, seizing their money.
At the moment, citizen A.R. has been detained as a suspect and placed in the temporary detention facility of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of Bishkek.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs calls on citizens who have become victims of these individuals, or those who have any information, to contact the Investigative Service at the number: +996 503 552 200.
The investigation is ongoing.
