Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Nurbek Abdieyev reported that in 2025, 3,267 cases of fraud were registered, with criminal cases initiated for 1,547 of them. During the investigations, 834 cases were solved, while 713 remain unresolved, often due to the fact that the criminals are outside the country.
According to Abdieyev, during the reporting period, 226 dropper cases were identified, and those responsible have already faced consequences for their actions.
He also noted that most fraudulent schemes are carried out through messengers, where perpetrators pose as employees of government agencies and promise to increase citizens' income.
Bekeshev expressed regret that people continue to trust such scams. He cited a case where a woman, who fell victim to fraudsters, sold her apartment for 10.6 million soms, believing she had been deceived by employees of the GKNB and the bank.
The deputy called for consideration of introducing restrictions on transfers exceeding 1 million soms per day to prevent such cases: "If the transfer is 10,000 soms, it is not critical, but such large sums should be under control," he added, addressing the representative of the National Bank.
Additionally, he proposed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs create a registry of fraudster numbers so that citizens could share such information.
