The cases involve cyber fraud, theft of funds, money laundering, and the transfer of criminal proceeds. Niyazbekov also disclosed details from a 2025 investigation into a cross-border cyber fraud group. During that probe, police found a TRON wallet on a suspect’s device that held more than $3 million in digital assets. Authorities then used blockchain analysis tools to trace the related funds. The remarks add a rare official data point on how local law enforcement in Kyrgyzstan is handling crypto-linked crime and using on-chain tracing tools in active investigations.
