Recently, the press center of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) revealed fraudulent activities by the owners of the shopping complexes "Mega Mall," "Ordo," and part of the market "Ak-Tilek+" in Karakol.
According to the GKNB, the owners of these markets sold individual retail outlets and boutiques to citizens without providing technical passports. Instead of transferring ownership documents for the commercial properties, the owners of the shopping complexes only signed lease agreements with entrepreneurs for 10 years.
Entrepreneurs used their own funds to renovate the purchased commercial spaces in the shopping centers and were forced to pay monthly rent ranging from 2.5 thousand to 15 thousand soms.
An investigation has been launched under Article 209 "Fraud in Especially Large Amounts" of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Searches were conducted at the owners of the shopping complexes "Ordo" and "Mega Mall," during which documents confirming their fraudulent actions were discovered and seized.
One woman has been detained and placed in the Temporary Detention Facility of the Internal Affairs Department of Karakol. The investigation is ongoing.
