In Bishkek, law enforcement agencies detained a lawyer who is suspected of committing large-scale fraud, as reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a citizen named K. E. approached them, claiming that two barely known women managed to deceitfully acquire a significant sum of money.
The investigation revealed that from February to October 2024, the women, introducing themselves as R. A. and K., claimed to have connections with influential people. They promised to help their victim purchase apartments and cars at prices below market value. Under the pretext of this assistance, the suspects met with the victim in various locations, ultimately acquiring a total sum of 90 thousand dollars.
In connection with this fact, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 209 (fraud in particularly large amounts) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During the investigation, the identity of one of the suspects was established, who turned out to be A. R., born in 1984, a resident of the Chui region. Since 2008, she has been engaged in legal practice and is a member of the Bar Association of the Chui region, as noted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The investigation also suggests that this woman may have defrauded other citizens in a similar manner, acquiring their funds.
The suspect has been detained and placed in a temporary detention facility. The investigation is ongoing.
Citizens who have become victims of the actions of these individuals or have any information are asked to contact the Investigative Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs by phone: +996 503 552 200.
