Financial fraud was revealed at the Spiritual Directorate of the Muslims of Kyrgyzstan (SDMK). The press center of the State Committee for National Security (SCNS) informed 24-kg.com news agency.
Management of the muftiyat illegally used the money transferred by the pilgrims for Hajj. The SDMK provided private financial institutions with a large loan totaling over 100 million soms.
«The muftiyat granted the loan and then received a monthly interest from it. When these facts were reveled, management of the SDMK began to insistently offer SCNS officers a bribe of $ 100,000 to hide the facts and stop the investigation. The fact was registered under the Article «Giving a bribe on especially large scale». The chief accountant of the SDMK was caught red-handed when handing over the money. He was placed in the temporary detention facility of the State Committee for National Security,» the state committee said.
