Deputy Director of Alamedin branch of Cadastre detained

Deputy Director of the Alamedin branch of Cadastre state institution E.A.A. has been detained as part of an investigation into corruption schemes related to land resources. The press center of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (SCNS) reported.

According to it, the investigation revealed the fact of illegal seizure by E.A.A. of a land plot of 15 ares as a bribe. The crime was discovered during an inspection of the legality of the allocation of plots in Kok-Zhar village.

It was found out that in 2007 citizens were allocated 4.3 hectares of agricultural land. The owners of the plots planned to divide them into smaller ones and sell them for individual housing construction, but they encountered the problem of land transformation.

According to the investigation, E.A.A., having offered assistance in the transformation, demanded a plot of 15 ares in the same area as a reward. It was registered to a front man — the detainee’s nephew.

Based on the collected materials, a criminal case was opened. E.A.A. was placed in the temporary detention facility.
