It became known that on December 22, 2025, Ch.G., a woman born in 1948, contacted the police, stating that scammers posing as employees of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB), the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), and the National Bank managed to gain her trust and convinced her to transfer money through an ATM to their bank card.
In connection with this fact, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 209 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During operational activities, a citizen A.K., born in 2005, was detained. He acted as a dropper and sold a bank card registered in his name to receive the stolen funds. He has been placed in the temporary detention facility of the Bishkek City Department of Internal Affairs.
Also detained was E.K., a citizen born in 2006, who performed the functions of a drop facilitator and was involved in purchasing bank cards from third parties via the Telegram messenger. He has also been placed in the temporary detention facility.
Police officers continue to work on identifying other participants in the criminal scheme.
The Bishkek City Department of Internal Affairs urges citizens to be cautious and reminds them that genuine law enforcement officers, bank employees, and government officials never ask for money transfers to their cards or for the disclosure of confidential information.
If you receive such calls, it is recommended to immediately end the conversation and contact the nearest police station or call 102.
