The victim, known as D.M., reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he had been deceived by unknown individuals who took advantage of his trust and seized a significant amount of money. They called him, introducing themselves as the vice-mayor of Bishkek, and offered to connect him with a "city hall employee." After some time, they called back, claiming to be GKNB employees, and informed him that his money was allegedly intended for financing a terrorist organization.
Using intimidation tactics and convincing him of the need to "secure" the funds, the fraudsters persuaded the man to transfer 5.5 million soms to a "safe account." After that, they ceased communication with him.
During operational-search activities, three citizens were detained: M.B. (born in 2001), and A.u.I. and A.u.N. (both born in 2004). A preventive measure in the form of arrest has been applied to them. A criminal case has been initiated under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, which pertains to fraud.
The investigation is ongoing.
