The victim contacted law enforcement, stating that a man named A.E. posed as an acquaintance and classmate of the son of a high-ranking official. He claimed to work in an "office" and was capable of resolving issues related to tax and other government agencies.
Thus, A.E. deceived the applicant and took his money. From February 17 to 21, he extorted 105 thousand dollars from the victim, promising to help resolve similar problems. After receiving the money, the fraudster disappeared.
A criminal case has been initiated regarding this incident under Article 209 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Officers of the Criminal Investigation Department managed to detain A.E., born in 1985, who had previously had legal issues.
Currently, investigative activities are ongoing to clarify all the circumstances of the case.
The police urge citizens who have become victims of the actions of the detained individual to contact the following numbers: 0772-803-038 and 102.
