Kazakh citizen publicly complains to Kyrgyz President about being scammed

Tengrinews.kz — Kazakh citizen Alidzhi Afarov complained to Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov about alleged fraud involving the purchase of a quarry in Chuy Region, according to Kaktus.media.
During a meeting with the President, the Kazakh citizen said he had purchased a quarry near Kant, but later, according to him, members of an organized criminal group, one of whom introduced himself as a relative of the head of state, fraudulently took control of the property.

“I bought a quarry and ended up dealing with an organized criminal group. They fraudulently took it back. The damage amounts to more than $200,000. One of them introduced himself as your nephew, your relative, Azamat Japarov. The other was Ilyasbek Kaipov,” the man said.

The Kazakh citizen also alleged that the people involved in the dispute had ties to an organized criminal group. In particular, he mentioned a person detained in Moscow who, according to him, is connected to one of the men.
After hearing the complaint, Japarov instructed the Interior Ministry to look into the circumstances of the case.
The head of state then asked where the men named in the complaint were. After learning that they had not been detained, Japarov issued an additional instruction.

“Interior Ministry, detain them and return the money. The $200,000 must be returned. Help him,” the Kyrgyz President said.

The outlet noted that Kyrgyzstan’s Interior Ministry has not yet provided official information about any review of the Kazakh citizen’s complaint or the procedural status of the people he named.
