- Information regarding the case is taken from the State Register of Judicial Acts.
During the investigation, it was revealed that N. I. (name changed to Nazgul) had been working as the school director since October 2022. From the 2022 to 2024 academic years, she registered a teaching load for herself without the necessary orders and did not actually conduct classes. At the same time, false information was indicated in the attendance sheets and class journals, based on which she received a salary.
As a result of her actions, the state incurred damages amounting to 142,941 soms, which Nazgul paid into the account of the Jalal-Abad region prosecutor's office, and this amount was directed to the state revenue.
The Suzak district court on February 7, 2025, found Nazgul guilty under part 2 of Article 337 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, which pertains to abuse of office for the purpose of gaining benefits. She was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months of imprisonment in a general regime correctional facility and was prohibited from holding managerial positions in the education sector for a period of 3 years.
On May 26, 2025, the Appellate Court modified the sentence regarding the terms of serving the punishment and, applying the amnesty law, released the convicted individual from actual serving of the sentence. However, she was prohibited from holding managerial positions in the education sector for 2 years.
After reviewing the cassation appeal of the defendant's lawyer, the Supreme Court concluded that the guilt of the convicted was proven, no procedural violations were identified, and the judicial acts are lawful and fair. As a result, the cassation appeal was dismissed.
Details
The judicial authorities established that since October 5, 2022, Nazgul, as the director of secondary school No. 1 named after M.A. in the Suzak district, registered 8 hours of teaching load for the subject "Russian Language" without the corresponding order for dividing classes into groups. In fact, classes were not conducted, and she instructed other teachers to fill out class journals in her name, preparing attendance sheets with false data, which allowed her to illegally receive a salary from October 2022 to August 2023.
As a result, she unlawfully received 111,350 soms and 97 tyiyn, causing significant material damage to the state.
Continuing her unlawful actions, in October-December of the 2023-2024 academic year, she again registered 9 hours for the subjects "Technology" and "Russian Language" in several classes without orders, not conducting classes and entering false information into official documents, which led to her receiving an additional 31,590 soms, further causing damage to the state.
The defendant's lawyer, in her cassation appeal, requested the annulment of the decisions of the first and appellate courts and her acquittal.
- Having studied the case materials and the arguments of the parties, the Supreme Court decided to uphold the verdict of the appellate instance and dismiss the cassation appeal.
