Officers of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (SCNS) detained lawyer A.K.A., a former military judge, on suspicion of systematic extortion. The security services reported.
According to the investigation, the suspect, using his personal connections and status, organized a scheme to extort money in exchange for assistance in obtaining favorable court decisions in civil cases.
It was found out that he initially received $25,000 from the injured party. However, he subsequently continued to demand additional $7,000, threatening to use his connections to overturn the court decision in favor of opponents if they refused.
During the investigation, the lawyer was caught red-handed accepting part of the demanded sum—437,500 soms (approximately $5,000).
By court order, the suspect was taken into custody for two months. The investigation continues to identify other possible participants in the corruption scheme.
