Kyrgyzstan conducts search of former deputy in connection with financing “Salimboyvachcha”

Nurgazi Adiraevich Aydarov, a former deputy of Kyrgyzstan's Jogorku Kenesh, was searched as part of an ongoing investigation into the financing of organized criminal groups, as reported by the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic.

According to the Committee's information, evidence has been uncovered indicating that Nurgazi Aydarov provided financial support to members of international organized criminal groups, including Salim Abduvaliev, also known as "Salimboyvachcha."

The investigation revealed that Aydarov became aware of Abduvaliev's illegal activities and his close connections with the notorious criminal figure Kamchi Asanbek (Kamchi Kulbaev). During Aydarov's stay in Uzbekistan, he extended full respect to Abduvaliev. In return, Abduvaliev and his associates sponsored Aydarov's business ventures and other activities within Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.

The October District Court of Bishkek has issued an in absentia arrest warrant for Aydarov, who is now subject to criminal prosecution through Interpol and interstate channels.

It should be noted that earlier, businessman Jalil Atambaev and former deputy and ex-head of the customs service Salaydin Aydarov, both associated with "Salimboyvachcha," were arrested in Kyrgyzstan.
