A clandestine pawnshop with high interest rates was discovered in Manas
In Manas, the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) has put an end to illegal usury practices. During the investigation, A.E.S. was detained, suspected of organizing a "black pawnshop" in her home, where she issued loans at astronomical interest rates exceeding 150% per year.

According to the investigation, the woman provided loans secured by both movable and immovable property, including jewelry. There was a recorded case where a client, Sh.K.U., borrowed 1 million soms and paid 150,000 soms monthly in interest.

When repaying the principal debt, the suspect repeatedly attempted to seize the borrower's property, threatened him, and demanded early repayment of interest. As a result, she took his car.

On February 4, A.E.S. was caught red-handed while receiving 200,000 soms as interest. Searches at her residence revealed technical passports for real estate, identity documents, ownership documents for land plots, and pledged valuables.

During the investigative activities, the suspect admitted her guilt. She has been placed in the temporary detention facility of the GKNB of the Kyrgyz Republic. Additional investigations are underway to identify other affected borrowers and owners of pledged property. Upon completion of the investigation, the property will be returned to its rightful owners.
