Employees of the Ministry of Economy tried to withdraw over $1.7 million from Kyrgyzstan

The Anti-Corruption Service of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic in the course of the search for and return of illegally obtained property found out the information about the existing assets of the former deputy head of the Central Agency for development, investment and innovation of the Kyrgyz Republic Alexey Eliseev in the public corporation “Crystal”. This was reported by the press service of the State Committee.

It was established that officials of the Bankruptcy Department of the Ministry of Economy of the Kyrgyz Republic during the special administration procedure of the public corporation “Crystal” contrary to the interests of the state, knowing that there was the court verdict in force regarding Eliseev that provided for confiscation of property, attempted to withdraw $1 million 717 thousand (120 million KGS) in his favor.

In the process of special administration, the property complex and assets of the corporation were sold through open tenders, and after paying off all payables, there were $1 million 717 thousand 967 (120 million KGS) in the deposit account of the company. In accordance with the legislation in the field of bankruptcy, this sum should have been sent to the sole founder, i.e. to the company with direct involvement of Alexey Eliseev.

In order to prevent the withdrawal of funds in favor of Eliseev, the collected materials were registered in the Unified Register of crimes and misconduct on the grounds of a crime under part 2 of article 320 “Abuse of official position” of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.

In pursuance of the verdict of the Pervomaisky court in Bishkek, $959 000 (67 million KGS) are currently transferred from the specified amount through the deposit account of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic, and, according to the results of the audit, as part of the pre-trial proceedings, it is planned to reimburse the remaining amount.

The investigation is currently ongoing.
