A dropper linked to an internet fraud case was arrested in the Chui region.
According to information provided by the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the region, on March 8, a man born in 1987 contacted law enforcement. He reported that unidentified individuals, using WhatsApp, convinced him to transfer money for 25.5 tons of corn.
As a result, the applicant transferred an amount of 612 thousand soms to the accounts of two citizens. However, after the money was transferred, the goods were not provided to him.
Based on this incident, a criminal case was initiated under Article 209-1 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. During operational activities, the police were able to identify one of the cardholders — a man born in 1988, who was detained and placed in a temporary detention facility.
The investigation revealed that the detainee had provided third parties with his bank card details, which allowed them to use his credentials.
Currently, efforts are ongoing to identify others involved in the crime. The investigation continues.
The Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Chui region reminds that the transfer of bank and SIM cards, as well as other electronic means to third parties, is a criminal offense.
