Bishkek, Jan. 28, 2021. /Kabar/. Former Prime Minister of the Kyrgyz Republic Mukhammedkalyi Abylgaziev was taken into custody Thursday, the press service of the the Pervomaisky court of Bishkek said.
In accordance with a decision of the Pervomaisky district court, a preventive measure in the form of detention was chosen for suspect Abylgaziev in the form of detention in the temporary detention facility of the State Committee for National Security until March 26, 2021.
Abylgaziev, being prime minister, against the interests of the state and citizens of the republic, unreasonably and in violation of national legislation, signed a government’s resolution, according to which Kumtor Gold Company CJSC was additionally provided with territories for exploration and gold mining.
As a result, the total area of the mine more than doubled and amounted to 26.3 thousand hectares, including several glaciers and a protected area.
It should be noted that there was a government’s resolution, which banned the expansion of the area of the specified mine in order to preserve unique natural complexes, biological, landscape diversity and species of flora and fauna listed in the Red Book.
The development of these territories will lead to severe environmental consequences for the flora and fauna of the Issyk-Kul biosphere zone, and may also disrupt the country's hydropower system.
In addition, Abylgaziev, while in the civil service, illegally increased his assets, several times exceeding his official income. In order to legalize them, he acquired expensive objects of movable and immovable property in the territory of Bishkek city, Chui and Issyk-Kul Oblasts, and also made financial investments in the construction of multi-apartment elite houses. To avoid criminal liability, these assets were registered in the name of dummies.
Mukhammedkalyi Abylgaziev, 53, served as prime minister of Kyrgyzstan from 2018 to 2020.
