A repeatedly convicted fraudster was detained by law enforcement authorities
The detention occurred after a citizen named U.Z. contacted law enforcement on December 19, 2025. He reported that he had fallen victim to a fraudster who, posing as an employee of the GKNB via WhatsApp, deceitfully obtained 17 thousand dollars from him, promising to help him get out of the detention center.
A criminal case was opened regarding this incident under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, which pertains to fraud.
As a result of operational actions, A.T., born in 1988, was detained. He already had previous convictions and had been wanted internationally since 2022. He was placed in the temporary detention facility of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate.
Employees of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate remind citizens of the importance of caution and urge them not to fall for the tricks of people posing as law enforcement officials and asking for money transfers via messengers or over the phone.
