According to information from the press service of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Chui region, a case of detaining a dropper occurred in the region.
On December 30, a woman named Sh.A., born in 1994, reported to the police. She stated that between December 27 and 29, 2025, certain individuals deceitfully gained her trust and, using the "Telegram" application, stole 152,000 soms from her.
In connection with this situation, a criminal case was initiated under Article 209-1 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning the intentional transfer or sale of electronic money, virtual asset wallets, and SIM cards to third parties.
As a result of operational-search activities, police officers tracked down a citizen, Ch.B., born in 2003. He had previously obtained an "Optima" bank card and sold its details via Telegram, which allowed the fraudsters to access the victim's funds. Thus, he violated the law by providing outsiders access to his internet banking.
Citizen Ch.B. was detained and placed in a temporary detention facility. The investigation is currently ongoing.
The Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Chui region reminds that the transfer of SIM cards, bank cards, and other electronic funds to third parties is a criminal offense.
