In Bishkek, a man suspected of selling bank cards, which were subsequently used for criminal activities, was detained. This was reported by the press service of the Lenin District Department of Internal Affairs.
According to the information, on November 24, 2025, the suspect, posing as a bank employee, obtained a student card belonging to a person named T.A. under the pretext of blocking his own card. Together with the owner, he visited a bank in the Osh region, where he unblocked the card and then sold it via the messenger Telegram to an unidentified buyer for 5,000 soms.
In addition, he similarly obtained another 10 bank cards from classmates at one of the educational institutions in the Osh region and also sold them through Telegram for 5,000 soms each. Later, these cards were used to commit crimes.
Based on these events, a criminal case was initiated under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic "Fraud." The suspect, identified as K.I., born in 2005, was placed in a temporary detention facility.
The capital's court decided to remand the detained individual in custody for one month in SIZO-1. Currently, an investigation is underway to check his possible involvement in other similar crimes.
The investigation is ongoing.
The police warn that the transfer of bank cards, details, confirmation codes, and personal data to third parties, as well as their sale, are illegal actions that may lead to criminal liability. Individuals who provide their cards for illegal activities become accomplices to crimes, while the organizers of the sale and collection of cards (so-called drop-off points) may face more severe penalties.
