The head of the Department of the State Service of Bishkek was detained and placed in the temporary detention center of the State Committee for National Security within the framework of pre-trial proceedings under article 319 “Corruption”.
According to the investigation, some employees of the Financial Police, using their position, in collusion with civilians, organized a stable corruption scheme to launder and withdraw funds from Kyrgyzstan.
“As a result of this illegal activity, from March to October 2020, $ 700 million (59.5 billion KGS) was withdrawn outside the republic. At the same time, the preliminary damage in the form of tax evasion may amount to more than $ 5.8 million (500 million KGS),” the State Committee for National Security explains.
According to the State Committee for National Security, the officials of the Financial Police received a bribe from the organizers in the amount of $ 2.1 million (180 million KGS) for concealing these violations.
Currently, activities are being carried out aimed at identifying other persons involved in organizing and patronizing this corruption scheme.
