A man who had been hiding for 25 years in connection with a rape case was caught in Talas
A man who had been on the international wanted list for over a quarter of a century for serious crimes was detained in the Talas region. This was reported by the press service of the regional Internal Affairs Directorate.

According to law enforcement agencies, a criminal case against K.K., a resident of the Talas district, was initiated on December 6, 2000, under Article 129, Part 1 "Rape" (as per the 1997 edition). Just five days later, on December 11, the district prosecutor's office took him into custody and announced him wanted.

Over time, the case was reclassified under Article 154 (Part 2, Clause 3) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning "Rape accompanied by threats of violence dangerous to life or health." Formally, K.K. had been wanted since February 18, 2000, and for more than two decades, he managed to evade arrest.

As a result of international cooperation, the Talas District Internal Affairs Department was able to establish the whereabouts of the wanted individual. In June 2024, he was detained in Yekaterinburg (Russia), after which the extradition process began.

On February 1, 2026, K.K. was delivered to Kyrgyzstan, handed over to investigative authorities, and placed in a temporary detention facility in Talas.

Currently, investigative activities are ongoing against him.
