In Bishkek, a suspect was detained for the illegal sale of bank cards, which were then used to commit crimes. This was reported by the press service of the Internal Affairs Department of the Lenin District.
According to available information, on November 24, 2025, under the pretext of blocking his bank card, this citizen obtained a student card belonging to a person named T.A. He then, along with the cardholder, visited a bank in the Osh region, where he unblocked the card and shortly thereafter sold it via the messenger Telegram for 5,000 soms to an unidentified individual.
Additionally, he similarly acquired another 10 bank cards from his classmates at one of the educational institutions in the Osh region and also sold them through Telegram for 5,000 soms each. Later, these cards were used to commit various crimes.
In connection with this incident, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic "Fraud." The suspect, K.I., born in 2005, has been placed in a temporary detention facility.
The court of the capital has decided to detain the arrested individual for one month in pre-trial detention center SIZO-1. Currently, an investigation is underway to check his possible involvement in other similar crimes.
The investigation is ongoing.
The police remind that the transfer of bank cards, account details, confirmation codes, and personal data to third parties, as well as their sale, are illegal actions that carry criminal liability. Individuals who provide their cards for illegal operations may be recognized as accomplices to crimes, and the organizers of such schemes (so-called drop-off points) are subject to stricter penalties.
