In Kyrgyzstan, employees of the Financial Police and Tax Service have been detained for corruption

The Anti-Corruption Service of the State Committee for National Security suppressed a stable corruption scheme organized by employees of the Financial Police and the State Tax Service on the illegal import of goods into Kyrgyzstan from the EAEU countries.

In 2019, one of the heads of the regional department of the Financial Police with a responsible employee of the State Tax Service established a systematic collection of funds for the unhindered passage of goods to Kyrgyzstan without paying the due tax payments.

“Within the framework of pre-trial proceedings, they were detained and placed in the temporary detention facility of the State Committee for National Security. They were notified of the suspicion of committing a crime under Article 319 “Corruption” of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic,” the SCNS reported.

The investigation is ongoing.
