A local resident approached the capital's police on November 6, stating that he received a call from individuals claiming to be employees of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB), the National Bank, the Anti-Corruption Service, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They deceived him into transferring 7 million 500 thousand soms, claiming they were conducting an investigation related to financing the "special military operation" and terrorist groups.
This case was recorded under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning large-scale fraud committed by a group of individuals in collusion.
Employees of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of Bishkek detained two suspects: 16-year-old B.A. and 19-year-old M.B., who were placed in a temporary detention facility.
According to the investigation, the 21-year-old detainee used Telegram to purchase bank cards, which he then registered under fictitious names, handing them over to fraudsters for further exploitation.
The investigation is ongoing, during which other individuals involved in the criminal activity are being identified.
