At a meeting with citizens affected by the actions of citizen K.R. S.M., Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) Kamchybek Tashiev emphasized the need to comply with legislation regarding usury activities.

Tashiev also instructed to hold accountable the pawnshops that do not adhere to the established legal norms. The GKNB reported the initiation of an investigation into a large-scale fraud scheme related to construction and collateral lending, organized by citizen S.M.

The meeting took place at the GKNB headquarters, where the detained individual was also present. At the beginning of the event, Tashiev provided information on the progress of the investigation.
According to preliminary data, S.M., who had previous convictions, was engaged in illegal activities in the pawnshop and usury sectors, providing loans on unfavorable terms. As a result of accumulated debts, he seized movable and immovable property from citizens.

The investigation established that the registration of real estate occurred through fictitious transactions involving dummy individuals and notaries under the control of a criminal group. There is information that S.M.'s activities were accompanied by threats, pressure on victims, and possible use of connections with law enforcement representatives,” the GKNB reported.

As part of the investigation, special attention is being paid to the activities of LLC "Expert Stroy" (residential complex "Silk Road") and LLC "Arz Development." The investigation found that S.M. used two plots of land for shared construction, while creating obstacles for project implementation and making illegal demands to obtain significant benefits.

“As a result of his actions, 89 shareholders of the residential complex "Silk Road," LLC "Arz Development," and several individuals were harmed. The total damage is recognized as particularly large and includes illegal alienation of real estate and vehicles,” the GKNB reported.

Tashiev instructed GKNB employees to check the operations of pawnshops, including the terms of loan provision and interest rates. He noted that this criminal case is under his personal control. Responsible GKNB units were tasked with thoroughly and objectively establishing all the circumstances of the case, identifying those involved, and taking measures to compensate the victims for their losses.
