During the investigation, it was revealed that S.M.A. used overdue loans as a pretext for the illegal seizure of his clients' property, including apartments, land plots, and commercial properties. The transfer of ownership rights was carried out through fictitious transactions involving dummy notaries and affiliated persons.
Trusted persons were also identified, through whom a significant amount of property acquired through criminal means passed. During the investigation, possible connections between the usurer and government agencies were discovered, which could complicate the protection of citizens' rights.
S.M.A. was detained on January 14, after which the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek chose a preventive measure in the form of arrest in the GKNB detention center. The investigation is ongoing, and law enforcement agencies are identifying possible accomplices.
The GKNB emphasizes that usury and the illegal activities of pawnshops are criminal offenses.
