Both were detained as part of a criminal case initiated by the GKNB in December 2024 under part 3 of Article 337 "Abuse of Office" of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. The case concerns crimes committed before the amendment of legislation related to the tightening of penalties for corruption. In this regard, they were convicted under the old rules, which allows for the imposition of a fine provided there is an admission of guilt and a plea agreement with compensation for damages to the state.
According to information, both defendants admitted their guilt and compensated the state for damages amounting to 4 billion 307 million soms.It was also noted that the defendants' confessions helped uncover a complex corruption scheme involving employees of the Central Audit Department of the GNS and other officials. These actions contributed to the tax authority's fulfillment of its tax and insurance contribution collection plan for 2025 and increased revenues by 40 billion soms beyond the planned amount.
The investigation into other participants in the case is ongoing, and information about its progress will be provided later.
