The investigation into the case of former Kyrgyz President Askar Akayev, accused of involvement in corruption, continues. This was reported by the press service of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) literally the next day after the ex-president rushed to announce that all charges against him were dropped.
“Persons who are not involved in the ongoing investigation and do not have reliable information on the case are deliberately misleading the public for the sake of banal self-promotion,” the department announced, adding that the former president, who has pleaded guilty and actively cooperates with the investigation, has been charged with a new charge. on episodes of the general agreement with the Cameco company in 1992 and the restructuring of the Kumtor project in 2003.
Askar Akayev, who served as President of Kyrgyzstan since 1990, was removed from office in a coup in 2005 and left the country. Several criminal cases were opened against him, which were suspended due to the impossibility of interrogating the suspect. One of the most high-profile cases related to the name of the ex-president is the case of corruption associated with the development of the Kumtor gold mine. Kumtor was developed by the Canadian company Centerra Gold Inc, which has already been charged with environmental violations and tax evasion. The conditions on which the development of the field was carried out were recognized by the investigation as deliberately unfavorable for the republic.
