In Bishkek, two suspects were detained who, according to the press service of the Main Internal Affairs Department of the capital, may be involved in a large-scale fraud amounting to over 22 million soms.

On December 22, 2025, citizen Ch. G. reported to the Sverdlovsk District Internal Affairs Department that certain individuals, posing as employees of the State National Security Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the National Bank, deceived her and took her funds.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the fraudsters convinced the woman to transfer money via an ATM to a specified bank card. As a result, she incurred losses amounting to 22 million 130 thousand soms.

In this regard, a criminal case was initiated under Article 209 (fraud) of the Criminal Code of Kyrgyzstan.

During the operational-search activities, employees of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Internal Affairs Department of Bishkek identified the suspects — 21-year-old T. Zh. and 17-year-old K. E. The young men were taken to the investigative authorities and placed in a temporary detention facility.

Currently, additional measures are ongoing to identify other individuals involved in this crime, as well as to collect evidence and clarify all circumstances of the case.

The Main Internal Affairs Department of Bishkek urges citizens to be vigilant. Employees of government agencies never require the transfer of funds to bank cards and do not request confidential information over the phone.
