In the Chui region, law enforcement agencies have detained another dropper. This information was provided by the press service of the regional Department of Internal Affairs.
According to the received data, on December 30, a 29-year-old woman named Sh.A. contacted the police. She reported that she had been deceived by unknown individuals who, having gained her trust, under the pretext of increasing her financial resources through the "Telegram" application, stole 152,000 soms from her between December 27 and 29, 2025.
A criminal case has been initiated under Article 209-1 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning the intentional transfer or sale of electronic payment means, virtual assets, and SIM cards to third parties.
As a result of operational-search activities, the suspect was identified — a 20-year-old named Ch.B., who had previously obtained an "Optima" bank card and sold its details through Telegram. This card was used by fraudsters to steal funds from the victim. Thus, the detainee provided access to his online banking to third parties, which is also an offense.
Ch.B. was detained and placed in a temporary detention facility. The investigation is ongoing.
The Department of Internal Affairs of the Chui region reminds that the transfer of SIM cards, bank cards, and other electronic means to third parties is a criminally punishable act.
