Suspects in fraud have been detained and placed in a temporary detention facility
On December 22, 2025, a 77-year-old citizen, Ch.G., filed a complaint with the Internal Affairs Department of the Sverdlovsk District of Bishkek. He requested assistance regarding the actions of unknown individuals. This information was provided by the press service of the Bishkek City Police Department.
According to the victim, the fraudsters posed as employees of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB), the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), and the National Bank. As a result of their manipulations, they convinced him to transfer money via an ATM to their bank card.
As a result of these actions, the fraudsters stole 22 million 130 thousand soms.
Based on this incident, a criminal case was initiated under the article "fraud" of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During the operational search activities, the identities and whereabouts of the suspects were established.
It was found that an 18-year-old citizen, A.K., acted as a "dropper," having sold his bank card registered in his name. Later, this card was used to transfer the stolen funds. The suspect was taken to the investigative service and placed in a temporary detention facility.
A 17-year-old citizen, E.K., was also identified, who played the role of a "drop conduit" and purchased bank cards from other individuals through the Telegram messenger. He was also detained and placed in a temporary detention facility.
Currently, efforts are ongoing to identify other participants in the criminal scheme.
