According to preliminary investigation data, the police officers acted according to a pre-arranged plan. They initiated criminal proceedings against a citizen A.M.M. and, using the services of an intermediary, lawyer K.A.T., demanded 30 thousand US dollars from the suspect's son to terminate the criminal case.
The victim's son transferred the first installment of 20 thousand dollars through the intermediary. To legitimize the transaction, the lawyer left the money at one of the exchange offices in the capital, from where it was supposed to be picked up by law enforcement officers.
However, the plan could not be fully realized. As a result of conducting confrontations and gathering necessary evidence, the deputy head of the police department A.N.A. and the head of the CID A.I.A. were arrested and placed in the temporary detention facility of the State Committee for National Security. Currently, the search for other possible accomplices in this corruption scheme is ongoing.
