As for Islambek Kydyrgyshev, he was also found guilty and fined 3,000 calculated indicators (300,000 soms), with a similar restriction on holding public office.
Both former officials were detained during the investigation into corruption and official crimes in the State Tax Service. During the investigation, it was established that Abdyvapov had assets worth over 55 million dollars, raising doubts among law enforcement about their legal origin.
In January 2025, the court extended the detention period for both individuals, granting the request of the investigation, which was considered by the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek.
The investigation concerned a discovered corruption scheme in the State Tax Service, specifically related to excise stamps on alcoholic products. The State Committee for National Security reported that the state suffered damages amounting to 3.2 billion soms due to this case. During the investigative actions, high-ranking officials of the agency were detained, including the deputy chairman Islambek Kydyrgyshev, while Altynbek Abdyvapov was summoned for questioning by the special services.
