A case of abuse of official position related to the illegal registration of a vehicle has been recorded in the Chui region, as reported by the regional Department of Internal Affairs.
According to law enforcement officials, this year citizens S.A. and J.R. brought a Lexus RX 330 from Japan, declaring it as spare parts. For subsequent illegal registration and sale, they acquired a registration document for a previously damaged vehicle of the same make, which belonged to citizen N.I., and also forged notary documents.
Coordinating their actions with the specialist of the state enterprise "UNAA" J.B., the suspects presented fake documents. For the sum of 1,100 US dollars, they managed to enter false information into the database, including the substitution of VIN codes. As a result, the vehicle was registered illegally and sold to a bona fide buyer for 7,000 US dollars.
Additionally, a scheme to evade customs duties was implemented, causing damage to the state, the amount of which is currently being determined.
A criminal case has been initiated on this fact under Article 337 (Abuse of Official Position) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
In accordance with Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, the specialist of the state enterprise J.B. and citizen J.R. have been detained and placed in a temporary detention facility. The investigation is ongoing.
