A citizen, K.E., contacted the Ministry of Internal Affairs, reporting that two women unknown to him gained his trust and deceitfully appropriated a significant sum of money.
During the investigation, it was established that from February to October 2024, the women, introducing themselves as "R.A." and "K," claimed to have connections with influential individuals and offered assistance in purchasing apartments and cars in Bishkek at prices below market value. Under this pretext, they repeatedly met with the victim and ultimately received 90,000 US dollars from him.
Based on these facts, a criminal case was initiated under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, concerning large-scale fraud.
Investigative actions led to the identification of one of the suspects — she turned out to be A.R., born in 1984, a resident of the Chui region. It was established that since 2008, she has been a lawyer and is part of the Bar Association of the Chui region.
Additionally, it was revealed that A.R. had previously deceitfully obtained money from other citizens using similar schemes.
Currently, A.R. has been detained as a suspect and placed in the temporary detention facility of the Main Internal Affairs Department of Bishkek.
We urge anyone who has fallen victim to the actions of these individuals, as well as those who possess any information, to contact the Investigative Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the phone number: +996 503 552 200.
The investigation is ongoing.
