Deputy Interior Minister Nurbek Abdieyev reported that in 2025, 3,267 cases of fraud were registered, with investigations initiated in 1,547 of them. As a result, 834 cases were solved, while 713 remained unsolved, which, according to him, is due to many criminals being outside the country.
He also added that during the specified period, 226 dropper cases were identified, and those responsible were held accountable.
Abdieyev noted that fraudsters often use messengers to deceive citizens, posing as employees of government agencies and promising increased income.
Bekeshev expressed regret that many continue to believe in such schemes. He recounted a case where a citizen, having received a call from fraudsters, sent 10.6 million soms via a banking terminal, thinking that her apartment was registered under someone else's name. "Is it not possible to set limits on one-time transfers over 1 million soms? This could help prevent fraud," the deputy addressed the representative of the National Bank.
In conclusion, Bekeshev suggested that the Ministry of Internal Affairs create a list where citizens could publish the numbers of fraudsters.
