According to the press center of the committee, on August 13, a citizen applied to the Main Investigation Department of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic. Pre-trial proceedings under Article 326 (extortion of a bribe) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic were registered.

It was found out that the senior assistant prosecutor, in collusion with an employee of one of the large industrial enterprises of Tokmak city, extorted $ 15,000 from the citizen. He threatened to prosecute her husband, a citizen of the PRC, on the fact of allegedly illegal acquisition of movable and immovable property on the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic.

In case of refusal to give the bribe, he threatened to send the available materials to the investigating authorities with further deportation of the foreign citizen.
