Previously, Manas Sultanov, a citizen of Kyrgyzstan, was detained on similar charges.
“Sultanov, acting out of selfish motives, engaged in illegal activities aimed at profiting from citizens in difficult financial situations. He provided money under deliberately onerous conditions with excessively high interest rates, which put the victims in a dependent position and deprived them of the ability to fulfill their obligations, as a result of which he illegally seized movable and immovable property from his clients,” noted the GKNB.
According to GKNB data, Sultanov's actions were accompanied by methods of pressure, intimidation, and psychological influence on the victims, which also hindered citizens from seeking protection of their rights.
As the investigative authorities found out, Rustam Isaev actively assisted Manas Sultanov, presenting himself as his partner and lawyer.
With Isaev's involvement, extortion and blackmail of property from the heads of construction companies LLC “Expert Stroy” and LLC “Arz Development,” which were engaged in the project of the residential complex “Silk Road,” were carried out.
According to GKNB information, Isaev facilitated the illegal imposition of restrictions on property rights to construction sites, threatening representatives of construction companies and shareholders in order to force them to transfer property.
As a result of these actions, 89 shareholders of the residential complex “Silk Road” were harmed, as well as representatives of the construction company LLC “Arz Development” and several citizens who used Sultanov's services.
The materials of the case were sent to the General Prosecutor's Office of Kyrgyzstan, and a criminal case was initiated against Rustam Isaev under Article 208 of the Criminal Code.
On January 19, 2026, Rustam Isaev was detained and placed in the temporary detention facility of the GKNB.
The investigation of the criminal case is ongoing, and other individuals involved in the commission of these crimes are being identified.
