On February 9, 2026, employees of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic detained two individuals who are members of the so-called "sportobshchak." Their names are "D.Z." and "R.U.A.," and they are suspected of illegally collecting money from foreign citizens.
According to intelligence services, "D.Z." and "R.U.A." systematically extorted money from truck drivers transporting goods from the "Dordoi" trading complex to other countries for 15 years. They used threats and physical pressure, demanding payment for each bag of cargo and each vehicle.
It was also revealed that "D.Z." had connections with law enforcement agencies, which previously allowed him to evade criminal responsibility. Additionally, he had close ties with criminal elements, including organized criminal groups such as the OPG K.Asanbek and OPG R.Akmatbaev.
In this regard, the General Service of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic initiated a criminal case under Article 261, Part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, and the detainees "D.Z." and "R.U.A." were placed in the temporary detention facility of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Currently, operational investigative actions are ongoing to identify other participants in this crime.
