On December 22, 2025, a woman named Ch. G. approached the Sverdlovsk District Department of Internal Affairs, reporting that she had fallen victim to fraudsters posing as employees of the State National Security Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the National Bank. They deceitfully took her funds.
According to preliminary information, the victim was convinced to transfer money using an ATM to a bank card. As a result, she suffered damages amounting to 22 million 130 thousand soms.
A criminal case has been initiated under Article 209 (fraud) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During the operational search activities, officers of the criminal investigation department of the Bishkek Department of Internal Affairs were able to identify the suspects. They are 21-year-old T. Zh. and 17-year-old K. E. They have been detained and placed in a temporary detention facility.
Currently, additional operations are ongoing to identify other possible accomplices of the crime, as well as to gather evidence and clarify all circumstances of the incident.
The Bishkek Department of Internal Affairs urges citizens to exercise caution. Employees of government institutions never require money transfers to bank cards and do not request personal information over the phone.
