According to the information from the capital's criminal investigation department, law enforcement officers have detained two individuals suspected of organizing a fraudulent scheme. As a result of the actions of the perpetrators, one citizen lost 7.5 million soms.

On November 6, the victim approached the investigative authorities, reporting that he had been deceived by individuals posing as employees of various government agencies, such as the State National Security Committee, the National Bank, the Anti-Corruption Service, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They convinced him that he needed to transfer a significant amount of money through ATMs, citing a check on his involvement in financing terrorist organizations.

In connection with this fact, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning fraud on a particularly large scale committed by a group of individuals by prior conspiracy.

Currently, law enforcement agencies continue the investigation, identifying possible accomplices and checking the connection of the detainees with similar crimes.

The Bishkek City Police Department reminds citizens that no government officials have the right to demand money transfers or personal data, such as card details and passwords. The agency urges people to be vigilant and take care of their digital security.
