According to the agency's data, in April 2025, using the trust of Turkish citizen H.K., the police officer deceived him out of $35,500, posing as a representative of a project for growing rare herbaceous plants of the "nightshade" genus with the potential for subsequent sale in Turkey. It is specified that the cost of one kilogram of seeds of these plants is $3,000.
In October 2025, H.K. filed a complaint with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic regarding fraud; however, as reported by the GKNB, the investigative authorities refused to initiate a criminal case without conducting preliminary checks and without interacting with the complainant.
On January 27, 2026, the foreigner again turned to the GKNB of the Kyrgyz Republic regarding this case, after which the materials were sent to the investigative authorities through the prosecutor's office.
On February 24, 2026, E.M.A. was detained under Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic and placed in the temporary detention facility of the Internal Affairs Department of the city of Talas, as reported in the GKNB press release.
The agency emphasized that efforts to combat corruption and protect the rights of investors continue, which aligns with their policy of improving the investment climate and ensuring accountability of officials for violations of entrepreneurs' rights.
