According to the information received, a citizen named J.Z. reported to the police that two unknown individuals, introducing themselves as Hamza and Ali, threatened him, demanding the payment of 7 million soms. They claimed that this was a debt of his deceased son and threatened violence in case of refusal.
In connection with this fact, the investigative service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs initiated a criminal case under Article 208 of the Criminal Code — extortion.
During the operational activities, officers of the Main Department of Criminal Investigation, together with the investigative service, detained two suspects: K.N., born in 2005, and T.H., born in 2001, while attempting to collect part of the demanded sum.
Later, a third participant in the scheme was found and arrested — J.A., born in 1986, who, according to the investigation, was the organizer of the extortion. A search at her residence led to the seizure of a vehicle used by the criminals, which was placed in a tow yard.
All detainees were taken to the investigative service and placed in the temporary detention facility of the Bishkek City Police Department.
The investigation has established that J.A. had known the victim for several years and had information about his financial situation and family circumstances. Taking advantage of the applicant's son's death, she coordinated the extortion activities, involving other individuals in this scheme.
Currently, necessary investigative and operational actions are ongoing to clarify all the circumstances of this case, as well as to check the possible involvement of the detainees in other similar crimes.
The investigation continues.
