Security services have detained the former mayor of Kara-Kul city in Jalal-Abad region. The press center of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (SCNS) reported.
According to it, the former official was arrested for misuse of budget funds and money laundering.
«A criminal case was opened against him under Article 205 «Misappropriation and embezzlement of entrusted property on an especially large scale.» The investigation showed that City Hall employees, abusing their official position, entered into an unfavorable contract for the construction of a water supply network from Uch-Terek village to Ketmen-Tobo village in Jalal-Abad region. The steel pipes of the existing network were dismantled and sold, and the new water supply network was built poorly, which made it unsuitable for use,» the statement says.
