A statement was submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs by citizen K.E., who recounted how two unfamiliar women gained his trust and took his money.

From February to October 2024, they, introducing themselves as "R.A." and "K," claimed they could assist with purchasing real estate and cars in Bishkek at more favorable prices. As a result of their actions, the victim lost 90,000 US dollars, as the women deceitfully obtained this money by meeting him in various locations.

A criminal case has been initiated regarding these actions under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning large-scale fraud.

During the investigation, the identity of one of the suspects was established – it is 39-year-old A.R., a resident of the Chui region, who has been working as a lawyer since 2008 and is a member of the Bar Association of this region.

Furthermore, the investigation revealed that she had previously deceived several other citizens, similarly misappropriating their funds.

At present, A.R. has been detained and placed in the temporary detention facility of the Main Internal Affairs Department of Bishkek.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs urges anyone who has been a victim of the actions of these individuals or has information regarding this case to contact the Investigative Service at the phone number: +996 503 552 200.
