A contract was drawn up on March 16, 2024 between M.T.S. LLC and MMK-LMZ LLC (located in Russia) for the supply of 200 tons of metal products for 26,600 million rubles. After April 12, M.T.S. LLC entered into an agreement with B.L. LLC for the provision of transport services and on July 24 sent a request for four trucks to transport 17 rolls of metal from the Russian Federation to Bishkek. The cargo was supposed to be delivered on July 31.
During the transportation, an unknown person contacted the truck drivers via WhatsApp. Having gained their trust under the guise of an employer, he changed the final delivery point. As a result, the metal was delivered to Nizhnyaya Ala-Archa village, where the goods were sold to other people.
The damage from fraudulent actions reached 10,633,744 soms. The general director of the supplier M.T.S. LLC filed a statement with law enforcement agencies.
