According to the case materials published in the State Register of Judicial Acts, on April 23, 2025, at 15:00, on the 90.5 km mark of the Osh—Razakov highway, in the area of the Aiyl Aimak named after A. Masaliev, Ikram [name changed to I.F.E.], driving a neighbor's car, made dangerous maneuvers (skids, turns) on the roadway in the village of Kara-Döbö, which qualifies as automotive hooliganism.
The investigative authorities established that when the head of the Ayrybaz Police Station of the Kadamjay District Department of Internal Affairs detained Ikram and began to tow the car to the impound lot, he repeatedly offered him money in order to avoid the drafting of an administrative protocol and penalties, as well as to return the car to its owner.
Despite the warning from the head of the police station that bribery is a crime, Ikram continued to insist on his offer. As a result, the head of the Ayrybaz Police Station filed a report, which was registered in the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Proceedings of the Kadamjay District Department of Internal Affairs on April 23, 2025, leading to the initiation of preliminary investigative activities.
The initial check revealed signs of a crime as provided for in paragraph 2 of part 2 of article 345 of the Criminal Code. In this regard, on April 24, 2025, a criminal case was initiated, and investigative actions began.
During the investigation, it was found that Ikram continued to try to evade responsibility, repeatedly contacting officials by phone and offering money. On April 24, 2025, around 19:40, he was detained while handing over 3000 soms as a bribe in the office of the head of the police station in the village of Ayrybaz.
The Kadamjay District Court of the Batken Region found Ikram guilty on July 8, 2025, under paragraph 2 of part 2 of article 345 ("Bribery for committing an obviously illegal act (omission)") of the Criminal Code and imposed a fine of 5000 calculation indicators, which amounts to 500,000 soms.
However, on September 23, 2025, the judicial panel of the Batken Regional Court changed the verdict, and Ikram was sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment with deprivation of the right to engage in certain activities for the same period.
According to paragraph 1 of part 4 of article 67 of the Criminal Code, the punishment must be served in a general regime correctional institution.
According to part 6 of article 80 of the Criminal Code, the time Ikram spent under house arrest from April 26, 2025, until the verdict came into legal force will be counted at the rate of: 5 days of house arrest for 1 day of imprisonment.
The term of serving the sentence will begin on September 23, 2025. The measure of restraint in the form of house arrest was changed, and Ikram was placed in custody in the courtroom. The rest of the verdict remained unchanged.
Ikram's lawyer filed a cassation appeal with the Supreme Court requesting the cancellation of the decisions of the first and appellate instance courts and the return of the case for a new trial.
In the appeal, he stated that the courts did not take into account all the circumstances of the case and noted that investigative actions were conducted without a translator, despite Ikram not being proficient in the Kyrgyz language.
On December 2, 2025, the Supreme Court upheld the verdict of the Batken Regional Court.
