One of the victims approached the police, stating that a citizen named A.E. posed as an acquaintance and classmate of the son of a high-profile official. This individual also claimed to work in a so-called "office," where he could resolve financial issues with tax and other government agencies.
Thus, A.E. was able to deceive the applicant and take his funds. Between February 17 and 21, he received 105 thousand dollars from the man, promising to help resolve similar issues. After that, the fraudster disappeared.
A criminal case has been initiated under Article 209 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Employees of the Criminal Investigation Department detained a man born in 1985, who had previously had legal problems.
Currently, investigative activities are underway to clarify all the circumstances of the case.
The police are appealing to citizens who have become victims of the actions of the detained individual to report themselves at the following phone numbers: 0772-803-038 and 102.
