Kyrgyzstan Issues Warrant for Kazakh Businessman on Criminal Charges
Kyrgyzstan has issued an arrest warrant for Kazakh businessman Yasynzhan Tairov, accusing him of financing the organized crime group led by Kamchybek Asanbek.
The announcement was made by the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan on August 12, according to Forbes.kz.
Tairov, the owner of the Simiram recreation center, is suspected of providing financial support to the criminal activities of Asanbek, a notorious figure linked to the international criminal organization “Brotherly Circle.” The Kyrgyz security committee alleges that Tairov knowingly collaborated with Asanbek, despite being aware of his involvement in serious crimes, including racketeering and extortion.
According to the committee, Tairov transferred $200,000 to fund Asanbek’s criminal activities. Additionally, Tairov is accused of regularly offering accommodations at his recreation center to members of the crime group for their leisure and gatherings. The committee also claims that Tairov frequently gave Asanbek expensive gifts during various celebrations.
The alleged meetings between Tairov and Asanbek reportedly took place in Cholpon-Ata, at the Bars complex, which is said to be owned by Asanbek and his associates.
The Oktyabrsky District Court of Bishkek has issued an in absentia detention order for Tairov, who is now wanted for criminal prosecution both within the country and through Interpol.
