Citizen U.Z. filed a written complaint about fraud committed by A.E. with the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of Bishkek.

The complainant claims that A.E. misled him by posing as an acquaintance of the son of a high-ranking government official. He also stated that he had the ability to resolve financial issues with tax and other government agencies.

Misleading U.Z. about his capabilities and abusing his trust, the suspect took his money.

From February 17 to 21, 2026, while on Gorky Street in Bishkek, A.E., under the pretext of helping to resolve these issues, received 105,000 US dollars from U.Z., after which he disappeared, failing to fulfill his obligations and return the money.

A criminal prosecution has been initiated in this case under Article 209 (fraud) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.

As a result of operational-search activities, officers of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of Bishkek detained 38-year-old A.E., who had previously been held criminally liable.

Currently, investigative actions are underway to clarify all the circumstances of the case.

If you have become a victim of this person's actions or have information about his possible involvement in other crimes, please report it by calling 0(772) 803-038 and 102.

The Main Internal Affairs Directorate of Bishkek urges citizens to be vigilant and not to trust people offering "solutions to issues" in government structures for money.
