in Corruption / Kyrgyzstan - by


The director of the Jalal-Abad city branch of the land resources service R.E.I. has been detained in connection with corruption in the distribution of land plots in the Moscow district of the Chuy region. The State Committee for National Security (GKNB) press center reported the news.

According to the GKNB, the suspect, while holding the position of director of the land resources service branch in the Moscow district of the Chuy region, conspired with members of the "land mafia" to sign and issue state acts granting private property rights to land plots for individual construction for money, without following the official transformation procedure.

"The investigation also revealed cases of fictitious registration (re-registration) of land plots to individuals who were unaware of their involvement in land operations," the statement reads.

R.E.I. has been placed in pre-trial detention. The GKNB is continuing to identify all individuals involved in the case.
