According to the materials of the case available in the State Register of Judicial Acts, in June 2025, the defendant named Kairat [name changed K.K.] picked up a hitchhiker, A.K., in the village of Bokonbaev while driving a rented car. During the trip, he presented himself as the "curator" of the region and a colonel of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic, showing a fake identification.
Gaining the passenger's trust, Kairat asked to borrow 200,000 soms, citing temporary financial difficulties. As collateral, he offered to register a land plot in the village of Kerege-Tash in the Ak-Suu district in the victim's name, which he did not actually own. On June 13, 2025, the money was transferred to the intermediary's account, after which Kairat embezzled it and disappeared.
The Karakol City Court found Kairat guilty of fraud as defined in paragraph 1 of part 2 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code.
In this case, the court sentenced him to two years of imprisonment. However, considering Article 78 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, taking into account the unserved part of the sentence from a previous conviction by the Karakol City Court, the final sentence amounted to six years of imprisonment.
The court ruled that the convicted person would serve his sentence in a general regime correctional colony, and according to part 5 of Article 80 of the Criminal Code, the term of punishment would be calculated from the established date. One day of detention will be counted as two days of imprisonment.
The preventive measure of detention remained unchanged. Additionally, the convicted person was ordered to pay material damages in the amount of 200,000 soms to the victim, A.K.
The senior assistant prosecutor of the city of Karakol expressed disagreement with the decision of the first instance court and filed an appeal. The prosecution demanded a stricter sentence of eight years of imprisonment, pointing out that Kairat had already faced criminal prosecution, had been repeatedly held accountable for fraud, had not compensated for the damages, and had shown no desire for rehabilitation, despite having five children. The prosecutor also noted a technical error by the court in calculating the periods of detention.
After reviewing all the materials of the case, the judicial panel of the Issyk-Kul Regional Court confirmed that Kairat's guilt was fully proven based on the testimonies of the victims, witnesses, and investigation materials. The actions of the defendant were correctly classified under Article 209 part 2 paragraph 1 ("Fraud in a significant amount").
The Issyk-Kul Regional Court ruled to amend the sentence of the Karakol City Court dated February 5, 2026, regarding the term of punishment. By partially combining it with the unserved term from the previous sentence (dated October 20, 2025), Kairat was sentenced to 6 years of imprisonment in a general regime colony. According to Article 80 of the Criminal Code, the period of detention before the sentence comes into force will be calculated at the rate of "one day in custody counts as two days in the colony."
Kairat was also ordered to pay 200,000 soms to the victim.
The sentence takes effect from the moment of its public announcement. Parties who disagree with the decision of the appellate instance may file a cassation complaint or petition to the Supreme Court.
