According to Tashiev, he purchased a plot of land that previously belonged to a factory for 470 thousand dollars. “There were metal structures and pipes on the site, which were later removed by the owner. We planned to build a school on the site of the burned building. The intermediary for the deal was Bakyt Torobaev, who is a relative of the seller and helped reduce the price. Some people are now trying to tarnish my family's reputation, but we forgave them during the month of Orozо,” he added.
In addition, Tashiev reported that he bought several shops and residential buildings located around the former factory area to create a children's playground.
On February 23, an audio recording surfaced on social media in which a person with a voice resembling that of Bakyt Torobaev, the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Minister of Water Resources and Agriculture, discusses issues related to the enterprise. In this conversation, it is claimed that Taimuras Tashiev, along with Kanibek Dosmambetov, took the enterprise from its owner. The interlocutor also noted that Tashiev promised to pay one million dollars for the land plot but did not fulfill his promise and intended to demolish the factory, although he later changed his mind.
Taimuras Tashiev, 32, is the eldest son of Kamchybek Tashiev. He holds the position of Deputy Director of the company "Thomas and Co." In 2021, he was elected as a deputy of the Jalal-Abad City Council from the Ata-Jurt Kyrgyzstan party but soon resigned his mandate. He is also associated with the construction project of the bypass road "Özgön" on the Bishkek—Osh highway.
