Suspects impersonating law enforcement officers detained
In Bishkek, the police detained a group of fraudsters who attempted to deceive citizens over the phone. This information was received from the Internal Affairs Department of the Pervomaisky District.
On January 29, a woman identified as L.T. reported to law enforcement that on January 27, she received calls from several unknown individuals from different numbers. They introduced themselves as employees of the GKNB, Ministry of Internal Affairs, and National Bank, claiming that transfers from her account had allegedly been sent to terrorist organizations. During the conversation, the fraudsters exerted psychological pressure on the woman, asserting that she faced criminal liability.
Under the pressure of the criminals, the woman decided to sell her apartment and transferred 10,600,000 soms to the specified bank details.
The investigation soon established that the individuals in question had no connection to state institutions and acted with fraudulent intent. As a result, the woman suffered significant financial damage.
As part of the case initiated under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, law enforcement detained the suspects: A.K. (born in 2000), as well as S.N. and B.A. (both born in 2004). All of them have been placed in a temporary detention facility.
