Previously, Manas Sultanov, a citizen of Kyrgyzstan, was detained on charges of fraud and extortion of property on a large scale.
“Sultanov, pursuing selfish interests, engaged in illegal activities, profiting at the expense of citizens in difficult financial situations. He offered them loans under clearly exploitative conditions with excessively high interest rates, which effectively put the victims in a dependent position and deprived them of the ability to fulfill their obligations. As a result, he unlawfully seized movable and immovable property from his clients,” the GKNB reported.
It was also noted that Sultanov's actions were accompanied by pressure, intimidation, and psychological influence on the victims, as well as hindering their attempts to protect their rights and legitimate interests,” the agency added.
According to GKNB data, Rustam Isaev provided support to Sultanov, acting as his partner and lawyer.
Under Isaev's direct involvement, there were instances of blackmail and extortion of real estate and other material goods from the leaders of the LLC “Expert Stroy” [Residential Complex “Silk Road”] and the company LLC “Arz Development.”
According to GKNB information, Isaev facilitated the unjustified restriction of property rights on construction sites and personally threatened representatives of construction companies and shareholders to force them to transfer property.
As a result of the actions of the perpetrators, 89 shareholders of the Residential Complex “Silk Road” were harmed, as well as representatives of LLC “Expert Stroy,” LLC “Arz Development,” and a number of citizens who used their services.
The materials of the case have been forwarded to the General Prosecutor's Office of the Kyrgyz Republic, and a criminal case has been initiated under Article 208 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic against lawyer Rustam Isaev.
On January 19, 2026, Isaev was detained and placed in the temporary detention facility of the GKNB.
The investigation of the criminal case is ongoing, and other involved parties are also being identified.
