As a result of counterintelligence activities, the State Committee for National Security became aware of the illegal activities of citizen Ch.R.Z., who posed as an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The agency's officials found that this individual, having gained the trust of citizen Zh.A.Z. and referring to his connections with the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, managed to deceitfully obtain 500 US dollars. In this regard, a criminal case was initiated against Zh.A.Z. at the Internal Affairs Department of the Sverdlovsk District of Bishkek.
The fraudster intimidated Zh.A.Z., claiming that the investigative authorities were going to apply a measure of restraint related to deprivation of liberty. He also stated that he could influence the course of the investigation, which prompted him to demand an additional 2,000 US dollars to resolve the issue.
On February 18, 2026, within the framework of the case under Article 343 (extortion of a bribe) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, Ch.R.Z. was detained in Bishkek while receiving 45,000 soms. After the detention, he was taken to the Main Investigative Department of the State Committee for National Security and placed in a temporary detention facility.
