According to the information received, a citizen named J.Z. contacted law enforcement with a statement, informing them that two individuals, identifying themselves as Hamza and Ali, demanded 7 million soms from him, citing non-existent debt obligations of his deceased son. They threatened to use violence if he refused.
Based on this statement, the investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs initiated a criminal case under Article 208 of the Criminal Code regarding extortion.
During joint operational and investigative activities conducted by the Main Department of Criminal Investigation and the investigative service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, two individuals were detained: K.N. (born in 2005) and T.H. (born in 2001) while attempting to transfer part of the amount.
Later, a third suspect was identified and detained — J.A. (born in 1986), who, according to the investigation, was the organizer of the criminal activity. A search was conducted at her residence, during which a vehicle used in the criminal scheme was seized. The car has been placed in a towing lot.
All detainees were taken to the investigative service and placed in the temporary detention facility of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of Bishkek.
The investigation revealed that J.A. had known the victim for several years and was aware of his financial situation and family circumstances. Taking advantage of the tragic death of his son, she organized and coordinated the actions for extortion, involving other individuals in the crime.
Currently, necessary investigative actions are ongoing to clarify all circumstances of the case, and a check is being conducted to determine the possible involvement of the detainees in other similar crimes.
The investigation continues.
