According to the investigation, in 2023, citizens S.A. and J.R. imported a Lexus RX 330 from Japan, which was declared as spare parts. In order to illegally register the vehicle and subsequently sell it, they acquired a registration certificate for a previously damaged vehicle of the same make, which belonged to citizen N.I., and also forged notarial documents.
The investigative authorities have determined that the suspects acted in collusion with a specialist from the State Enterprise UAAA J.B.. Based on the forged documents and for a reward of $1,100, changes were made to the information system, including the substitution of VIN codes. As a result, the vehicle was illegally registered and sold to an unsuspecting buyer for $7,000.
A scheme for evading customs duties was also uncovered, leading to damage to the state. The exact amount of this damage is currently being determined.
A criminal case has been opened under Article 337 (abuse of official position) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. In accordance with Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, specialist from the State Enterprise UAAA J.B. and citizen J.R. have been detained and placed in a temporary detention facility.
Investigative actions are ongoing.
