Poetbek Tashiyev arrested for financial crime in Kyrgyzstan
A new incident has occurred in Kyrgyzstan regarding a serious corruption case. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Shoirbek Tashiyev, the brother of Qamchibek Tashiyev, who worked for many years in the country's National Security system and a former deputy, has been arrested on charges of major financial crimes. According to local media, particularly the “24.kg” publication, Shoirbek Tashiyev was detained as part of an investigation into financial violations identified at the “Kyrgyzneftegaz” company.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is currently being held in the temporary detention facility of the Bishkek city internal affairs department, and the investigation is ongoing. As a result of inspections conducted by the State Tax Service, cases of large-scale embezzlement of funds at the state company between 2021 and 2025 have been identified.
Documents indicate that products were artificially purchased at low prices through intermediaries and later sold at higher prices. Additionally, raw materials were written off using suspicious schemes.
As a result, the state suffered damages exceeding 4 billion soms. During the analysis of financial operations, at least three separate methods of secretly transferring income to private entities were identified.
Investigative authorities link these entities to persons close to Qamchibek Tashiyev. Currently, investigative actions in the case are ongoing.
This incident shows that the fight against corruption remains a pressing issue in Kyrgyzstan. This situation once again reminds of the necessity to ensure transparency and legality in state systems.
