in Corruption / Kyrgyzstan - by


The press center of the State Committee for National Security has reported that the wife of Azim Roy, N.Z.Kh., has been charged in absentia for her involvement in the legalization of criminal proceeds. The accusation is related to the collaboration between the notorious criminal figure Kamchybek Asanbek (Kamchi Kolbaev) and Azim Roy.

According to the investigation, Kamchybek Asanbek and Azim Roy established two companies, "L.A." and "R.", through which they acquired a land plot in Bishkek and constructed a commercial building with offices and warehouse premises. To conceal their ownership stake in these companies, they registered them under Azim Roy's wife's name. An affiliated person of Azim Roy from the Republic of Lithuania, K.G., was included in the founding team under the guise of a foreign investor.

During the criminal case investigation, other founders confirmed the actual ownership of the mentioned real estate to Azim Roy and Kamchybek Asanbek. The investigation is ongoing.

It is worth noting that in November of the previous year, the State Committee for National Security put businessman Azim Roy, also known as Orozakhun Saidazimov in Kyrgyzstan, on the wanted list for his ties to the criminal authority Kamchi Kolbaev.
