Member of crime group suspected of gang rape detained in Cairo

A 43-year-old man, wanted by Interpol, was detained in Cairo (Egypt). The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic reported.

He is registered as an active member of an organized crime group of Dzhengo, nicknamed Kazak.

The man was put on the wanted list at the initiative of the Department of Internal Affairs of Osh region for committing a gang rape of a woman, 36. It is known that in June 2023 in Osh, he and his accomplices, having deceitfully put the woman into a car, brought her to one of the hotels. There, using force, they raped her. A case was opened under the article «Rape committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy» of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Despite the gravity of the crime committed, the court chose a preventive measure for the suspect in the form of house arrest, after which Kazak hid from the investigation and was put on the international wanted list through Interpol. The detainee is also suspected of committing a number of crimes in the south of Kyrgyzstan.

The issue of his extradition to Kyrgyzstan is currently being decided.
