A clandestine pawnshop with high interest rates was discovered in Manas
The State Committee for National Security (SCNS) conducted an operation to eliminate illegal usury activities in Manas. During the investigation, a citizen identified as A.E.S. was detained, who, according to preliminary data, organized a "black pawnshop" right in her home, offering loans with annual interest rates exceeding 150%.

It was revealed that the woman issued loans secured by both movable and immovable property, including jewelry. One of the borrowers, a citizen identified as Sh.K.U., took out 1 million soms and paid 150 thousand soms monthly as interest.

When repaying the debt, the suspect repeatedly threatened the borrower, attempting to seize his property and demanding early payment of interest. Ultimately, she took his car.

On February 4, she was caught in the act while collecting 200 thousand soms as interest. During searches at her residence, technical passports for real estate, ID passports, documents of ownership for land plots, and pledged jewelry were found.

During investigative activities, the suspect made a confession. She is currently in the temporary detention facility of the SCNS. Actions are being taken to identify other potential affected borrowers and owners of pledged property. After the investigation is completed, the seized property will be returned to its lawful owners.
