In Talas, a prosecutor's employee was caught extorting a bribe
In the Talas region, the deputy prosecutor of one of the districts, S.K.O., was detained for extortion instead of fulfilling his duties to oversee the observance of legality, reports the press service of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic (GKNB KR).

Investigative actions revealed that the prosecutor used intimidation against individuals on probation, threatening to appeal their lenient sentences. He demanded 2,000 US dollars to ensure their freedom from actual imprisonment. According to the GKNB, the accused was essentially trading justice, thereby undermining the reputation of the entire system of state power and the country's anti-corruption strategy.

The detention took place on February 1, when S.K.O. was caught red-handed receiving 140,000 soms. He is currently in the temporary detention facility of the GKNB, while the investigation is determining whether he acted alone or if there was an organized group of corrupt officials in the area.
