According to the press service of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate, the driving school directors B.T. (known as "J.A.") and M.A. (known as "J.J.A.") along with intermediary I.T. accepted payments from clients, primarily located abroad, through the electronic wallet "MBank." The amounts ranged from 40,000 to 120,000 soms. In return, "students" were provided with documents certifying course completion, even though they had not actually attended classes or received training.
The investigation revealed that 244 individuals were registered through one of the intermediaries, allowing the fraudsters to illegally earn 2,760,850 soms.
After receiving payments, the criminals entered the "students'" data into the state portal and issued certificates of course completion, enabling them to take exams at the State Registration Service (GRS).
In connection with these actions, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 379 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic (forgery of documents). The organizers of the scheme — I.T., M.A., and B.T. — have been detained and placed in a temporary detention facility in accordance with Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During the searches, law enforcement agencies discovered:
- 200 registration journals for students;
- 160 fake driver's licenses;
- 264 various documents;
- 8 electronic devices;
- a hunting rifle and 40 cartridges.
The seized materials have been recognized as physical evidence. A channel for the production of fake documents used for vehicle registration and transit numbers of foreign states has also been established.
The investigation is ongoing.
