A lawyer from "A.K.A." who previously worked as a judge has been detained, according to information from the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan.
During the investigation, it became known that the suspect used his status and connections to create a scheme for extorting money under the pretext of assisting in obtaining favorable court decisions in civil cases.
At the initial stage, "A.K.A." had already received 25,000 US dollars from the victim, but he did not stop at this amount and attempted to extort another 7,000 dollars, threatening that if they refused, he would use his administrative resources to change the court decision in favor of the opponent.
As a result of the operational measures taken, the lawyer was caught red-handed while receiving part of the requested amount of 437,500 soms (equivalent to 5,000 US dollars).
The collected materials became the basis for the court's decision to keep the detainee in the State National Security Committee's detention center for two months. Currently, investigative actions are ongoing to identify other possible participants in this corruption scheme.
Record from the State National Security Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic: The lawyer has been detained for systematic extortion of money, first appeared on K-News.
