Employees of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of Bishkek have detained a suspect in fraudulent activities that resulted in the theft of 23 million soms.
According to the agency, on November 14, a group of unknown individuals took advantage of a technical failure in the electronic wallet system, allowing them to withdraw a significant amount to third-party accounts. The victim, citizen S.Ch, reported the crime to law enforcement authorities.
A criminal case was initiated under Article 209 "Fraud" of the Criminal Code of Kyrgyzstan. As a result of operational-search activities, officers from Department "K" were able to identify and detain 25-year-old A.E., who has been placed in a temporary detention facility.
The court has ruled to keep the suspect in custody for a period of two months.
Currently, law enforcement agencies continue to investigate the case, searching for other individuals who may be connected to the withdrawal of funds, as well as clarifying additional details of the incident.
