Events unfolded on December 22, 2025, when a resident of Bishkek contacted the police. She reported that she had fallen victim to fraudsters who contacted her via WhatsApp, posing as employees of the State Committee for National Security and bank workers. Under psychological pressure, which led her to believe that illegal financial transactions were being conducted, the woman was forced to sell her apartment and transfer 22 million 120 thousand soms to the fraudsters.
As a result of operational actions, employees of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of Bishkek detained three suspects: A.Z., born in 2007, B.S., born in 1998, and N.M., born in 2002. All of them have been placed in a temporary detention facility.
An investigation is currently underway.
