On March 23, the State Security Committee of Kyrgyzstan announced the detention of 5 Azerbaijani citizens who are members of a transnational criminal group.
According to the press release of the KGB of Kyrgyzstan, Aliev V.M., Bagirov S.A., Askerov M.O., Bekhbudov M.S. and Mamedov Z.I. planned an assassination attempt on the Kyrgyz leadership.
According to preliminary data, they came to Kyrgyzstan in order “to strengthen the criminal environment and spread thieves’ ideology, as well as increase their status” to organize an assassination attempt on the country’s leadership, the department said in a statement.
In turn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan reported on March 26 that, at the request of the Kyrgyz side, it provided it with information about these individuals.
