The published data from the Tax Service indicates that "Kyrgyzneftegaz," an important state enterprise, has been used as a source of income for private individuals for five years. While the company faced financial difficulties and could not ensure salary payments, a network of intermediaries emerged, linked to close associates of the former head of the State National Security Committee, Kamchybek Tashiev.
Billions lost due to "disappearances" and intermediaries
Experts from "Salyk Servis" conducted an analysis of digital invoices for the period from 2021 to 2025 and revealed shocking results. The damage to the state budget exceeded 4 billion soms, which was a result of not technical failures, but the use of administrative resources.
The situation was exacerbated by the fact that the extracted oil began to mysteriously "disappear" already at the accounting stage. Official reports indicated a loss of 29 thousand tons, while experienced technologists at the enterprise claimed that the actual losses should be three times less. Thus, raw materials worth more than half a billion soms were removed from accounting.
However, the most significant financial flows were funneled through so-called shell companies. Despite having its own processing plant, "Kyrgyz Petroleum Company," the management of "Kyrgyzneftegaz" began to resort to the services of intermediaries. Almost 30% of all extracted oil was directed to private companies, which then resold it to the state plant under their name, allowing them to take 3.1 billion soms in profits that rightfully should have gone to the state treasury.
Who is behind the schemes?
During the investigation, it was found that the companies involved in this case have quite well-known names. Significant volumes of raw materials passed through structures managed by brothers Shayirbek and Kazybek Tashiev, relatives of the former head of the security service. Additionally, the company "Region Oil," owned by the accountant of the "Ata-Jurt" party, not only purchased fuel oil but also resold it back to the same plant, acting as an unnecessary and costly link.
The firm "Moka Group," founded by Tai-Muras Tashiev, also held a special position. The volumes of purchases from it are astonishing: it acquired more fuel than the largest retail chains in the country. Meanwhile, the most profitable positions, such as diesel and fuel oil, were mainly distributed among affiliated structures, while the non-liquid AI-80 gasoline was sold to third-party traders, as Tashiev's relatives showed no interest in it.
Consequences and financial difficulties
This system operated smoothly during the time when the plant was managed by Kamchybek Tashiev's nephew, Baigazy Matisakov. Currently, investigative authorities are trying to determine how the director of the "daughter" company so impudently managed the resources of the parent company.
The financial consequences of such "efficiency" became evident after the change of leadership in the spring of 2026. The new director of "Kyrgyzneftegaz," Samsaaly Chetimebaev, reported that the enterprise was on the brink of bankruptcy — there was just over a million soms left in the cash register, and salary debts required urgent closure. While private firms profited from the resale of state fuel oil, the flagship of the country's oil production found itself in a critical financial position. Currently, tax authorities continue their investigation, examining each transaction to determine the extent of the multi-billion som damage.
