Law enforcement officers detained suspects in a fraud case, who are now in a temporary detention facility.
On December 22, 2025, a report was received at the Sverdlovsk District Department of Internal Affairs in Bishkek from a citizen, Ch.G., born in 1948. He requested measures to be taken against unknown individuals, as reported by the press service of the Bishkek City Department of Internal Affairs.
The applicant stated that the fraudsters posed as employees of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB), the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), and the National Bank. Gaining his trust, they deceitfully convinced him to transfer money through an ATM to their bank card.
As a result, these individuals seized a total of 22 million 130 thousand soms.
A criminal case has been initiated regarding the incident under the article "fraud" of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During operational search activities, the identities and whereabouts of the suspects were established.
One of them, a citizen A.K., born in 2005, played the role of a "dropper," selling his bank card registered in his name. This card was later used to transfer the stolen funds. The suspect was taken to the investigative authorities and placed in a temporary detention facility.
The other detainee, a citizen E.K., born in 2006, acted as a "drop leader" and purchased bank cards from other users via the Telegram messenger. He was also detained and placed in a temporary detention facility.
Efforts are currently ongoing to identify other participants in this crime.
