The State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic reported the detention of lawyer Rustam Isaev, who was involved in a fraud scheme in the fields of construction and mortgage lending.
Previously, it was reported that the State Committee for National Security detained citizen Sultanov Manas Asenovich, who was an active participant in pawnshop and loan shark activities, suspected of extortion and fraud involving large sums.
Sultanov, seeking to gain profit, conducted illegal operations providing funds on onerous terms with high interest rates, which put his clients in a vulnerable position and deprived them of the ability to fulfill their obligations. As a result, he illegally acquired movable and immovable property.
Sultanov's actions were accompanied by threats, psychological pressure on the victims, and attempts to obstruct their appeals for legal protection.
In this criminal activity, he was actively assisted by Rustam Isaev, who acted as his partner and lawyer.
“With Isaev's assistance, there were also cases of blackmail and extortion of property from the heads of construction and development companies, such as LLC 'Expert Stroy' - Residential Complex 'Silk Road' and LLC 'Arz Development',” the State Committee for National Security stated.
Moreover, having professional skills in jurisprudence, Isaev provided consultations that contributed to the unjustified restriction of property rights on construction projects and threatened representatives of companies and shareholders to force them to transfer their assets.
According to the data, as a result of the illegal actions of Isaev and Sultanov, 89 shareholders of the Residential Complex 'Silk Road', as well as representatives of LLC 'Arz Development' and other citizens who used their services, were harmed.
In connection with the above, the materials of the case were transferred to the General Prosecutor's Office of the Kyrgyz Republic, where a criminal case was initiated against lawyer Isaev under Articles 41 Part 4 and 208 Part 3 Item 2 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. The case has been sent for further investigation to the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic.
On January 19, 2026, within the framework of this criminal case, searches and investigative actions were carried out, as a result of which Isaev was detained and placed in the temporary detention facility of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The investigation continues, and other individuals involved in the case are being identified.
