According to the information, on December 22, 2025, a woman named G.Ch. contacted law enforcement, having fallen victim to a criminal scheme in which the perpetrators posed as employees of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) and banks.
The fraudsters used WhatsApp, contacting the complainant from various numbers, misleading her and applying psychological pressure. They convinced her to sell her apartment under the pretext of "necessary financial operations" and to transfer a significant sum of money to specified accounts, resulting in a loss of 22 million 130 thousand soms.

All detainees have been placed in a temporary detention facility in accordance with Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. The investigation continues to work on identifying other participants in the scheme and gathering additional evidence.
The Interior Ministry reminds that representatives of government agencies and banks never contact citizens through messaging apps, do not require money transfers, and do not give instructions regarding the sale of property. If such messages are received, it is strongly recommended to end the conversation and contact the police at phone number 102.
