The employees of the Internal Affairs Department of the Oktyabrsky District of Bishkek detained a 19-year-old young man who, according to the investigation, may have provided his bank card for fraudulent schemes, as reported by the press service of the law enforcement agencies.
A woman named A.G. had previously filed a complaint with the police, stating that she received a call from fraudsters who introduced themselves as employees of the National Bank. They convinced her to transfer 974,200 soms to their accounts.
In connection with this fact, the Investigative Service of the Internal Affairs Department of the Oktyabrsky District opened a criminal case under Article 209, Part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning the intentional transfer or sale of electronic financial assets to third parties.
As a result of operational actions, it was established that 19-year-old N.E., born in 2005, opened a bank card at a commercial bank, which allowed the fraudsters to use it for their illegal activities, thereby causing material damage to the victim.
N.E. was detained in accordance with Articles 96 and 97 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic on suspicion of committing a crime and placed in the temporary detention facility of the Main Internal Affairs Department of Bishkek.
The law enforcement agencies remind that participation in "dropping" and assisting fraudsters in obtaining bank cards may lead to criminal liability.
