Businessmen associated with Kamchi Kolbaev detained

The State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (SCNS) detained entrepreneurs associated with the late leader of the organized crime group Kamchi Kolbaev. The SCNS press center reported.

According to it, the suspects fraudulently misappropriated money from Russian investors on an especially large scale, using the patronage of the so-called crime boss Kamchybek Asanbek.

In 2018, a Russian citizen, as part of a strategic partnership agreement with Iceo LLC, invested $14 million in the construction of a cottage community in Issyk-Kul region.

«However, after the construction of the cottage community in Korumdu village, Issyk-Kul region, the suspects, using the criminal connections of Kamchybek Asanbek and threatening with physical violence, took possession of the investor’s property and money and forced him to leave Kyrgyzstan,» the SCNS stressed.

Two owners of Iceo LLC and the chief accountant were detained. The investigation is ongoing.
