The investigative authorities initiated a criminal case based on signs of a crime described in Article 342, Part 2, Clause 4 of the Criminal Code, concerning the illegal collection of funds by the head of the security department of Balakchy, D.T.I., and other individuals from subordinate employees. These payments were related to the provision of security services during non-working hours, as indicated in the Ministry of Internal Affairs' order.
The press service of the State Committee for National Security reported on December 16, 2025, that Colonel A.T.A. had been collecting money from the employees of Balakchy's security through D.T.I. and his accomplice since 2024.
“Systematic extortion of funds occurred as payments for the performance of official duties in securing facilities outside working hours,” the State Committee for National Security added.
According to the state committee, the arrest took place on December 10. The investigation is also looking into other possible accomplices among the Ministry of Internal Affairs employees.
In this case, a certain Ramina [name changed M.R.R.] is also involved, who is accused under Article 344, Part 2, Clause 2 of the Criminal Code of mediation in bribery, which implies the transfer of a bribe on behalf of the briber or the bribe-taker or assistance in reaching an agreement on the transfer or receipt of a large bribe.
The Karakol City Court reviewed the materials of the case concerning Ramina and decided that the case should be considered by the Balakchy City Court of the Issyk-Kul region, as the crimes were committed on the territory of Balakchy.
According to Part 1 of Article 273 of the Criminal Procedure Code, a criminal case must be considered in the court of the place where it was committed. If the judge determines that the case is not under his jurisdiction, he is obliged to send it to another court in accordance with Part 1 of Article 274 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
As a result, the Karakol City Court transferred the materials of the case to the Balakchy City Court. The preventive measure against the accused in the form of arrest was left unchanged until a decision is made by the Balakchy City Court, as provided for by Article 277 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
A private complaint or submission against this ruling may be filed with the Issyk-Kul Regional Court within 10 days.
