Security services established that these accounts and cards were passed on to international fraudsters who used them to conduct phishing attacks aimed at seizing citizens' money.
The fraudsters posed as employees of the State Committee for National Security, the National Bank, and other government agencies. During calls, they threatened citizens with criminal prosecution, accusing them of connections with terrorist organizations and financing terrorism. Victims were also sent letters with fake letterheads and signatures of officials from the State Committee for National Security.
During the investigation, several individuals were detained: A. B. N., born in 2008, placed in custody at IK-14 in the village of Voznesenovka, Panfilov District, for two months; A. E. K., born in 2006, placed in pre-trial detention center-1 in Bishkek; R. Sh. K., born in 1999, previously convicted of fraud, also placed in the State Committee for National Security's pre-trial detention center; Zh. K. R., born in 2001, with previous convictions for robbery and fraud, also in the State Committee for National Security's pre-trial detention center for two months; T. B. Sh., born in 2009, released under parental obligations; A. uulu S., born in 2004, previously convicted of murder and charged as a defendant in fraud, placed in the State Committee for National Security's pre-trial detention center; A. A. A., born in 2008, and K. I., born in 2009, also released under parental obligations; Dzh. S. A., born in 1996, placed in pre-trial detention center-1 in Bishkek.
Currently, investigative actions are ongoing, during which security services are searching for other possible accomplices of the telephone fraudsters to hold them accountable.
The State Committee for National Security strongly urges citizens not to transfer or sell their bank cards and accounts to third parties, as this may be classified as complicity in fraud, which carries criminal liability.
