According to law enforcement agencies, on January 9, 2026, the perpetrator, having gained the trust of the employees of the company, gained access to vehicles worth $159,270, as well as $4,000 intended for transportation expenses. Instead of following the agreed route of Khorgos – Moscow – Belgorod, he changed his path, entered Kyrgyzstan through the Dunlarov post, and disposed of the vehicles at his discretion, spending the money on personal needs.
A representative of the company reported the incident to the police. As a result of operational-search activities, the suspect, born in 1988, was detained and placed in a temporary detention facility.
A criminal case has been initiated against him under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic (fraud in a particularly large amount). The court decided to remand the detainee in custody at the pre-trial detention center (SIZO-1) during the investigation.
Law enforcement officials also found and seized four vehicles that the suspect had not managed to sell. The vehicles have been placed in a specialized impound lot. A possible connection of the detainee with other similar fraudulent schemes has been established.
Investigative actions are ongoing.
