According to law enforcement agencies, on March 8, 2026, a 35-year-old citizen I.A. approached the police station in the Jayil district and reported a fraud. He stated that on March 7, 2026, the criminals contacted him via WhatsApp, deceived him into trusting them, and offered to purchase 25.5 tons of corn, convincing him to transfer a prepayment.
As a result, the applicant transferred money to the following accounts:
— 450,000 soms to the card of A.A.;
— 162,500 soms to the card of citizen A.D.
In total, the victim transferred 612,000 soms, but the corn was never delivered to him.
In connection with this fact, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 209-1 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning crimes related to the intentional transfer of electronic funds to third parties.
During operational-search activities, law enforcement identified the individual A.A., born in 1988, to whose bank card the funds were transferred. In accordance with Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, he was detained and placed in a temporary detention facility. The court has chosen a preventive measure in the form of arrest for a period of two months.
The investigation revealed that A.A. provided his bank details to third parties, which is also a criminal offense.
Currently, work is underway to identify other participants in this fraud scheme, and the investigation is ongoing.
