According to information published in the State Register of Judicial Acts, in June 2025, the defendant, whose name has been changed to Kairat [K.K.], while driving a rented car, picked up a man named A.K. in the village of Bokonbaev. During the trip, he claimed to be the "curator" of the region and a colonel of the GKNB, showing a fake identification.
Having gained the passenger's trust, Kairat asked him to lend 200,000 soms, citing temporary financial difficulties. As collateral, he promised to transfer a land plot in the village of Kerege-Tash in the Ak-Suu district to the victim, which he did not actually own. On June 13, 2025, the money was transferred to the account of an intermediary, after which Kairat appropriated it and disappeared.
The Karakol City Court found Kairat guilty of fraud under paragraph 1 of part 2 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code.
He was sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment. However, taking into account Article 78 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, considering the unserved portion of the sentence from a previous conviction, the final term of punishment was set at 6 years of imprisonment.
The court ruled that the convicted person would serve his sentence in a general regime correctional colony. In accordance with part 5 of Article 80 of the Criminal Code, the time of imprisonment will be calculated from the specified date, with one day of detention counting as two days of imprisonment.
The measure of restraint in the form of detention remained unchanged. Additionally, the convicted person was ordered to pay 200,000 soms in material damages to the victim A.K.
The senior assistant prosecutor of Karakol disagreed with the decision of the first instance and filed an appeal, demanding an increase in the sentence to 8 years of imprisonment. He pointed out that Kairat had previously been prosecuted, had been convicted multiple times for fraud, had not compensated for the damage, and had shown no desire for rehabilitation, despite having five children. Furthermore, the prosecutor noted a technical error by the court in calculating the terms of detention.
The Judicial Board of the Issyk-Kul Regional Court, having examined the case materials, confirmed that Kairat's guilt was fully substantiated by witness testimonies and investigation materials. The actions of the defendant were correctly classified under Article 209 part 2 paragraph 1 ("Fraud in a significant amount").
The Issyk-Kul Regional Court decided to amend the sentence of the Karakol City Court dated February 5, 2026, regarding the determination of the term of punishment. Based on the partial aggregation with the unserved term from the previous sentence (from October 20, 2025), a term of 6 years of imprisonment in a general regime colony was imposed. In accordance with Article 80 of the Criminal Code, the time of detention prior to the entry of the sentence into force will be accounted for on the principle of "one day in detention equals two days in the colony."
200,000 soms were ordered to be collected from the convicted person in favor of the victim.
The sentence takes effect immediately upon its announcement. Parties disagreeing with the decision of the appellate instance have the right to file a cassation appeal or submit a petition to the Supreme Court.
