In the Chui region, law enforcement officers detained two men suspected of fraud. According to the police, a resident of Bishkek suffered damages amounting to 2,388,148 soms.
According to a statement from the press service of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Chui region, on February 3, a citizen M.M. approached the police department of the Alamudun district, reporting that in 2024, a man he barely knew deceitfully took possession of his funds amounting to 1,500,000 soms and a minivan worth 20,000 dollars.
