In Bishkek, law enforcement authorities have detained the fourth suspect involved in a large-scale cyber fraud scheme, as a result of which the victim lost 7.5 million soms. This information was provided by the Main Internal Affairs Department of the capital.
The detainee turned out to be a citizen R.T., born in 1992, who already had previous convictions for theft, robbery, and drug trafficking.
During the investigation, it was revealed that R.T. committed crimes not only in Bishkek but also in the Chui and Issyk-Kul regions. He also used the Telegram messenger to carry out fraudulent operations and transferred the stolen funds, the amount of which exceeded 1 million soms.
The suspect was taken to the Investigative Service of the Main Internal Affairs Department of Bishkek, where he was placed in a temporary detention facility. Investigative actions are ongoing to identify all accomplices and fully document the criminal activities of the group.
Employees of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Internal Affairs Department of the capital continue to conduct operational activities to identify all individuals involved in this crime. The fraudsters, posing as employees of the State Committee for National Security and the National Bank, deceitfully took possession of the victim's money.
Earlier, within the framework of this case, three other suspects were detained, who are also in the temporary detention facility of the Main Internal Affairs Department of Bishkek.
