A lawyer suspected of large-scale fraud was detained in Bishkek. This information was provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic.
According to law enforcement, a citizen named K. E. reported to them that two women, whom he barely knew, managed to gain his trust and deceitfully extracted a significant amount of money from him.
During the investigation, it was revealed that from February to October 2024, the women, identifying themselves as R. A. and K., claimed to have connections with influential individuals. They promised to help him purchase apartments in Bishkek and cars at prices below market value. Under this pretext, the suspects met with K. E. in various locations and ultimately received 90 thousand dollars from him.
In connection with the incident, a criminal case was opened under Article 209 (fraud in especially large amounts) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Investigative authorities were able to identify one of the suspects — A. R., born in 1984, a resident of the Chui region. She has been practicing law since 2008 and is a member of the Bar Association of the Chui region.
Furthermore, the investigation suggests that this woman may have deceived other citizens in a similar manner, stealing their money.
The suspect has been detained and placed in a temporary detention facility. The investigation is ongoing.
