The police urge caution when "representatives of the authorities" demand money.
In Bishkek, law enforcement officers detained two individuals suspected of large-scale fraud, with the amount exceeding 22 million soms. This was reported by the press service of the Main Internal Affairs Department.
According to police information, on December 22, 2025, a woman named Ch. G. approached the Sverdlovsk District Internal Affairs Department. She reported that unknown individuals, presenting themselves as employees of the GKNB, Ministry of Internal Affairs, and National Bank, deceitfully took her money.
The fraudsters convinced her to transfer 22 million 130 thousand soms to a bank card via an ATM.
In connection with this fact, a criminal case was initiated under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
As a result of operational activities carried out by the staff of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Internal Affairs Department, the identities of the detainees were established: T. Zh. (born in 2002) and K. E. (born in 2006). These individuals have already been taken to the Investigative Service and placed in a temporary detention facility.
Currently, additional operational-search activities are ongoing to identify other possible accomplices of this crime, as well as to collect evidence and clarify all circumstances of the incident.
The Main Internal Affairs Department strongly recommends that citizens be attentive and cautious. Employees of state structures do not have the right to demand money transfers to bank cards and do not make requests for confidential information over the phone.
If you have become a victim of such fraud or possess information that may assist in the investigation, please immediately contact the internal affairs authorities at your place of residence or call 102.
