In Naryn, employees of the State Committee for National Security (SCNS) uncovered a case of extortion of funds from the directors of schools and kindergartens.
According to the SCNS, workers of the Naryn education department, using their official powers, illegally requested amounts ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 soms from the heads of educational institutions. These funds were allegedly intended for an inspector from the Audit Chamber to conceal financial violations.
During a search of the office of the detained individuals, 68,000 soms were found, as well as a list of 17 educational institutions where the transferred amounts were noted.
On March 12, as part of a criminal case initiated under Article 343, Part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, the head of the Naryn education department, T.U.S., was detained and, by court decision, placed in a temporary detention facility until the investigation is completed.
The SCNS continues to conduct operational and investigative measures aimed at identifying other individuals involved in this crime.
